RESULTS OF POSTERIOR-ONLY ALL PEDICLE SCREW INSTRUMENTATION IN THE SURGİCAL TREATMENT OF SCHEUERMANNʼS KYPHOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2010, Vol 21, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate our clinical and radiographical results with the posterior-only all pedicle screw instrumentation in the surgical treatment of Scheuermannʼs Kyphosis. Sixteen patients who underwent posterior-only all pedicle screw instrumented spine fusion in our institute were selected and the clinical and radiographical data of them were analyzed retrospectively. The mean follow-up period was 47,5 months. The mean preoperative thoracic kyphosis was 80.4º. The final kyphosis correction rate was 43.3 % respectively. There was a spontaneous reduction in lumbar lordosis up to 26.5 %. One hemothorax case which was managed with tube drainnage and one proximal junctional kyphosis which did not affect the clinical outcome were the only complications noted. Posterior-only all pedicle screw instrumentation is a safe and effective modality of treatment in the surgical management of Scheuermannʼs Kyphosis.
