NEW TECHNIQUE FOR CORRECTION OF SPINAL DEFORMITIES: TEMPORARY INTRAOPERATIVE POSTERIOR STRECHING
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2009, Vol 20, Issue 3
Abstract
Deformities of the spine such as scoliosis or kyphosis are used to be corrected with a rod; which compresive, distractive, derotatory or translating forces are applied to this rod by permenant attachment of tools like screw, hook or wire. In an ideal corrective procedure bones at the implantation site and used materiai should not be under any stressing or damaging force. In 2006 we described a new method called Temporary Intraoperative Posterior Streching. In this method we are using Ilizarov streching tool and a specialy designed wire, same diameter with rod at one end and the rest is like Ilizarov wire. For last two years 11 patients were treated with this newly described method and 61.9 % of frontal correction is achieved. These results are promising for the new method can be used safely on the treatment of spinal deformities.
