Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the effect of three-dimensional computered tomographic(3DCT)reconstruction on the classification of operation for congenital elevation of the scapula and choice of congenital elevation of the scapula.[Method]Twenty-two patients with congenital elevation of the scapula were scanned with serial spiral CT and the images were three-dimensionally reconstraucted before operation.The scapular altitude difference of both sides were measured with the reference of scapular spine.Different appropriate operations which based on these results and Cavendish's classification were chosen for different patients.[Result]Twenty-two patients were followed-up for 2 years to 4 years,the appearance and the range of motion were improved without injuries of nerve,vessel and spine.[Conclusion]The pathological changes of congenital elevation of the scapula could be displayed clearly by 3DCT,so it is beneficial to choose the methods of operation and avoiding complications.
