Pedicle morphometry analysis of main thoracic apex adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Introduction: Screw insertion during scoliosis surgery uses free-hand pedicle screw insertion methods. However, there is a wide variation in pedicle shapes, sizes, and morphometry, especially in scoliosis patients. CT scan pedicle measurements in main thoracic Lenke type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis can help visualize this diversity.

Functional outcomes following surgical treatment in patient with primary degenerative adult scoliosis.

Introduction: Primary adult degenerative scoliosis is one of the adult scoliosis group that presents in adult patient without history of scoliosis during childhood or adolescence. This condition may be asymptomatic, mild low back pain, radiculopathy symptoms, or may be causing severe low back pain and major neurological symptoms including weakness and numbness of the lower extremities which can affect the patient quality of life.

Case Presentation: In this study, we presented seven cases of primary degenerative adult scoliosis that was treated either with decompression alone, decompression with short segment fusion and deformity correction, and decompression with long segment fusion and deformity correction.
