THE RESULTS OF SURGICAL TREATMENT USING COTREL-DUBOUSSET INSTRUMENTATION FOR LATE-ONSET IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
From December 1988 ta June 1991, 62 Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentations were performed at the 1st ortho-paedics and Traumatology Clinic of Ankara Social Security Hospital for the correction of late onset idiopathic scoli-osis. There were 27 female and 35 male patlents. Mean age was 14.6 and mean follow-up was 26 months. When ali types of curves were included, the mean Cobb angle had decreased to 23,5° from 53,2°. The best results were obtained in flexible thoracal lordoscoliosis, postural angles came within normal limits in the sagittal plane. An aver-age of 7.2° correction loss was seen during the follow-up period. İt was concluded that Cotrel-Dubousset Instru-mentation can be performed successfully in the treatment of late onset idiopathic scoliosis.
