Introduction• “scoliosis” - Greek word meaning “crooked.”• Scoliosis is defined as a lateral deviation of the normal vertical line
of the spine. • Associated with rotation of the vertebrae. • Three-dimensional deformity of the spine - sagittal, frontal, and
coronal planes

Classification
• Based on aetiology1.Idiopathic2.Congenital3.Neuromuscular4.Syndromic or generalised disease
![Page 5: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Idiopathic
• Infantile• Juvenile• Adolescent
![Page 6: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• The end vertebrae (E) are those most tilted,
• the apex (A) is vertebra deviated farthest from the center of the vertebral column.
• A neutral vertebra (N) is one that is not rotated,
• a stable vertebra (S) is one that is bisected or nearly bisected by the CSVL (dotted line), which is exactly perpendicular to a tangent drawn across the iliac crests (solid line).

• spinous processes deviate more and more to the concave side
• rib hump in convex side
![Page 8: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Postural Scoliosis
• Characteristics of Nonstructural (functional) scoliosis:• A reversible lateral curve of the spine that tends to be
positional or dynamic in nature.
• No structural or rotational changes in the alignment of the vertebrae.
• Disappears when the patient is supine or prone or sitting
• Correction of the lateral curve is possible by:• Forward or side bending. This test is done to determine whether
the curve straightens out as the child bends forward and to identify a visible, rotational deformity of the rib cage
• Positional changes and alignment of the pelvis or spine.• Muscle contraction• By correction of a leg-length discrepancy
![Page 9: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

• Etiology of Nonstructural scoliosis
Leg length discrepancy: (structural or functional) Measurable difference because of a dislocated hip, asymmetric leg or foot postures.
Habitual asymmetric posture: Sitting with weight shifted onto one hip or standing with weight primarily supported on one leg results in asymmetric flexibility and tightness in soft tissue of the trunk and hips.
Muscle guarding or spasm from a painful stimuli in the back or neck,
![Page 11: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Potential Muscle Impairments Mobility impairment in structures on the concave side of the
curves. Impaired muscle performance due to stretch and weakness
in the musculature on the convex side of the curves. If one hip is adducted, the adductor muscles on that side
have decreased flexibility and the abductor muscles are stretched and weak. The opposite occurs on the contralateral extremity.
With advanced structural scoliosis, cardiopulmonary impairment may restrict function.
• Potential Sources of Symptoms Muscle fatigue and ligamentous strain on the side of the
convexity Nerve root irritation on the side on the concavity

SAGITTAL BALANCE
• Plumb line or sagittal vertibral axis
![Page 36: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Assessment of VertebralAlignment and Balance
• The plumb: line is a vertical line drawn downward from the center of the C7 vertebral body, parallel to the lateral edges of the radiograph
• CSVL :is a roughly vertical line that is drawn perpendicular to an imaginary tangential line drawn across the top of the iliac crests on radiographs. It bisects the sacrum.
![Page 37: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• CORONAL BALANCE is evaluated by measuring the distance between the CSVL and the plumb line
• greater than 2 cm is abnormal
• SAGITTAL BALANCE is evaluated by measuring the distance between the posterosuperior aspect of the S1 vertebral body and the plumb line

Type I Lumbar curve is larger than the thoracic curve or nearly equal, but the lumbar curve is less flexible on side bending
Type II
A combined thoracic and lumbar curve and thoracic curve is larger than or equal to the lumbar. On supine side-bending radiographs, the lumbar curve is more flexible than the thoracic curve
Type III

Treatment of infantile idiopathic scoliosis
• 70-90% natural favourable histroy- no active treatment required
• initial curve <250, RVAD<200 –observation with radiographic followup every 6 months
• Most resolving curves corect by 3 yrs age• Follow up even after resolution till adolescent
![Page 51: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Treatment options for progressive curves
• Serial casting + bracing+ later fusion• Preoperative traction + later fusion• Growing rod or vertical expandable prosthetic
titanium rib( VEPTR) instrumentation without fusion
![Page 52: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Casting and bracing
• Best results if casting started < 20 months of age and <600 curves
• Cast change every 2-4 months• Once corrected to < 100 use custom moulded
brace

Operative treatment
• Indicated if curve is severe or increases despite use of an orthosis/casting
• Principle of surgery- surgery should not only stop progression of the curve but also allow continued growth of the thorax and development of the pulmonary tree
• Fusionless instrumentation techniques are preferred(VEPTR)
• If surgical fusion is necessary- short ant and post artrodesis including only the primary curve
• Combined fusion necessary- to prevent crankshaft phenomenon
![Page 57: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Treatment of juvenile idiopathic scoliosis
• Curves <200 – observation+ examination and standing PA radiograph every 4-6 months
• Evidence of progression on radiograph- change in curve 5-70- brace treatment
• Curve not progressing- observation till skeletal maturity

Evaluation of Brace Treatment of Juvenile Idiopathic Scoliosis by the Rib-Vertebral
Angle Difference (RVAD)
• If the RVAD values progress above 10 degrees during brace wear, progression can be expected.
• If the RVAD values decline as treatment continues, part-time brace wear should be adequate.
• Those patients with curves with RVAD values near or below 0 degrees at the time of diagnosis generally will require only a short period of full-time brace wear before part-time brace wear is begun.

Operative treatment
Important consideration- • Expected loss of spinal height,
Limited chest wall growth and lung development
• Crankshaft phenomenon

Surgical options Child <8yrs and small- growing rod instrumentation- • principle of surgery – posterior instrumentation
that is sequencially lengthened to allow longitudinal growth while still attempting to control progressive spinal deformity.
• surgery is required every 6 months to lengthen the construct
• A TLSO is used for first 6 months• Dual growing rod- effective in controlling
severe spinal deformities and allowing spinal growth, apical fusion doesn’t become necessary in course of Rx

Guided growth and physeal stapling
Principle of surgery- interertebral stapling is used to produce a tethering effect on the convex side of the spine. This tether theoritically will allow for continued growth on the concave side of the spine deformity and gradual correction of the deformity with growth Indications –1. Age <13 yrs in boys and 15 yrs in girls2. Skeletal maturity of Risser grade 0 or 1, with
1yr of growth remaining by wrist bone age3. Minimal rotation of both thoracic and lumbar
curves of 450 and flexibility to < 200 and a sagittal thoracic curve of 400 or less

Posterior spinal instrumentation
• Goal is to correct the deformity as much as possible and to stabilized the spine in the corrected position while the fusion mass become solid
• In 1962 Harrington first introduced the effective instrumentation system for scoliosis
• For more than 30 yrs harrington distraction rod combined with posterior arthrodesis and immobilization in cast or brace for 6-9 months remained standard tretment
• Later it is replaced by multiple hook, sublaminar wire and pedicle screw
![Page 78: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
Disadvantage of advantage of newer harrington system instrumentation• Correction is achieved
with distraction so efficiency of correction is decreased
• Traction forces are applied at the end of the construct where the hooks are seated. If loads exceeds the strength of lamina fracture and loss of correction can result
• With distraction spine is elongated and loss of sagittal contour occurs
• Distraction does not deal with rotational component
• Provide multiple point of fixation to the spine and apply compression , distractionand rotation forces through same rod
• Donot require any post operative immobilization
• Better coronal plane correction and better control in sagittal plane
• Better transverse plane correction with pedicle screw
• Hypokphosis in thoracic spine reduced and lumbar lordosis preserved
![Page 79: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Effects of distraction rod in lumbar spine. If contouring for lordosis is inadequate, lumbar spine can be flattened by distracting force. Also note kyphotic deformity just superior to distraction rod.

Correction maneuvres of spinal deformity
• Distraction on the concave side of a thoracic curve will decrease scoliosis and thoracic kyphosis
• Compression applied on the covex side of a lumbar curve will correct scoliosis and maintain lumbar lordosis
• Translating the apex of the curve in to a more normal position- rod derotation maneuver
• Pure translation using sublaminer wires or screw on cocave side
• Cantilever maneuver• Direct vertebral rotation with pedicle screw
![Page 81: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Basic principles of fusion level and hook site placement
• AP, lateral and bending films are necessary• In the saggital plane all pathological curves must be
included. Instrumentation should not be stopped in the middle of a pathological saggital curve such as thoracolumbar junctionl kyphosis. The upper hook should not stopped at the apex of thekyphosis proximally
• in the transverse plane the instrumentation should extend to a rotational neutral vertebra
• Instrumentation should be stopped at the level above disc space neutralization, as determined on bending films as long as this level does not conflict with the saggital and transverse plane requirement
• The distal level should fall within the stable zone of harrington
![Page 82: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Basic principle of the force generated by hook and its action on sagittal
plane1. Distraction forces ( forces directed away from
the apex of the curve ) decrease lordosis or contribute to kyphosis
2. Compression forces (towards the apex of the curve) decrease kyphosis or creat lordosis
3. To create kyphosis the concave side must be approached first
4. To create lordosis the convex side must be approached first and forces must be directed towards the apex of the curve
5. At the thoracolumbar junction , distractive forces should not be applied

Basic steps in identifying and placing a pedicle screw
1. Clearing the soft tissue2. Exposing the cancellous bone of the pedicle
canal by decortication at the intersection of the base of the facet and middle of the transverse process
3. Probing the pedicle4. Verifying the four walls of the pedicle canal by
probing or obtaining radiographic confirmation
5. Tapping the pedicle6. Placing the screw

Indications for Correction and Posterior Spine Fusion in Patients with Poliomyelitis• Collapsing spinal deformity because of marked
paralysis• Progressive spinal deformity that does not
respond to nonoperative treatment• Reduction of cardiorespiratory function
associated with progressive restrictive lung disease• Decreasing independence in functional activities
because of spinal instability that necessitates use of the upper extremities for trunk support rather than for table-top activities• Back pain and loss of sitting balance associated
with pelvic obliquity, which frequently causes ischial pain and pressure necrosis on the downside of the gluteal region
![Page 98: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Treatment of Congenital Scoliosis• Prevention of future deformity In situ fusion• Correction of deformity— Gradual Hemiepiphysiodesis and hemiarthrodesis Growing rod nonfusion Vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib• Correction of deformity— acute Instrumentation and fusion Hemivertebra excision Osteotomy

Posterior fusion without instrumentation
• Allows for stabilization of a curve • Idealy done early for small curve to
prevent the curve from becoming unaaceptably large
• One level cephalad and one level cudad to the involved vertebra are included in fusion
![Page 100: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Posterior fusion with instrumentation
• Slightly more correction can be obtained• Rate of pseudoarthrosis is low• Post operative cast / bracing least
unpleasant• Disadvantage are paralysis and
infection

Combined anterior and posterior fusion
• To treat saggital plane problems• To increase the flexibility of the scoliosis
by discectomy• To eliminate the anterior physis to
prevent bending or torsion of the fusion mass with further growth
• To treat curves with a significant potential for progression
![Page 102: Scoliosis seminar](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061603/55c913febb61eb3f258b4652/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)
Combined ant-post convex hemiepiphysiodesis
• Used for curves that are result of failure of fusion
• Correction of deformity relies on the future growth of the spine on the concave side
• Best for treating single hemivertebra that have not resulted in alarge curve at the time of surgery
• Appropriate in children <5 yrs with Progressive curve of < 500, with 6 segments or
less,with concave growth potential and no pathological congenital kyphosis /lordosis

Hemivertebra excision
• It can produce immediate correction of a congenital spine deformity
• It will remove the cause of and prevent further worsening of the deformity
• Is reserved for patients with pelvic obliquity or with fixed lateral translation of the thorax that can not be corrected by other means
