Impact of Metal Density on Deformity Correction for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

NCT04175145 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 96

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A retrospective analysis to ascertain the correlation between metal density and deformity correction among individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Conditions

  • Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Interventions

OTHER

Posterior spinal instrumentation

A fusion construct consisting of all pedicle screws except at uppermost instrumented vertebra. Contoured dual 6-mm stainless steel rods were used to connect the construct. Pedicle screw location and density was determined by the surgeon based on perceived curve stiffness and fusion length with an even distribution of fixation points along the construct. Pedicle screw instrumentation was performed by the free hand technique with biplanar fluoroscopic and direct screw EMG impedance testing for confirmation of placement. Reduction was via cantilever-segmental-translation maneuver in all cases.
