Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the clinical results of posterior hemivertebra resection and correction with transpedicular instrumentation for congenital scoliosis.[Method]From July 2002 to December 2006,thirty-nine consecutive cases,including 22 males and 17 females,underwent posterior hemivertebra resection and correction using transpedicular instrumentation.The average age at surgery was 8.3 years ranging from 3 to 15 years.There were 30 cases with fully segmented hemivertebra and 9 cases with partial segmented hemivertebra.Instrument included 16 cases of ISOLA,10 cases of CD-Horizon,10 cases of Moss-Miami and 3 cases of TSRH.The pre-and post-operative standing radiographic and at final follow-up were measured,and the Cobb's angles in the coronal and sagittal plane were analyzed,respectively.[Result]The average follow-up was 2.8 years ranging from 1 to 4.5 years.The Cobb's angle in coronal plane was corrected from 48? to 13?postoperatively and 13.2? at final follow-up,representing 70.2% correction rate.The kyphosis was corrected from 39? to 12.1? postoperatively and 12.7? at final follow-up,representing 68.7% correction rate.All cases had bony fusion,there was no neurological complication,no implant failure or infection.One case had crankshaft phenomenon.[Conclusion]Posterior hemiveterbra resection with instrumentation is a safe and effective treatment option for congenital scoliosis.Congenital scoliosis should be treated in early age.
