Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate how social health inequalities might affect the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the French healthcare system by analyzing the care pathway from diagnosis to post-surgery.
- - Researchers reviewed data from 883 patients who underwent surgery for scoliosis between 2009 and 2019, focusing on factors like Cobb angle measurements, brace compliance, and surgical outcomes, using regression models to assess socioeconomic influences.
- - The findings indicated that socioeconomic deprivation had a limited impact on treatment management, with significant effects only observed at the first consultation and on postoperative correction, highlighting the need for improved screening practices and further research on socioeconomic factors.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how definitive arthrodesis affects spine alignment in patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS) who were treated with magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) and to identify any complications from the procedure.
- Conducted across 10 French centers, 66 patients who underwent posterior spinal arthrodesis post-MCGR treatment were evaluated, with an average follow-up of 5.5 years.
- Results showed significant improvement in spinal curvature after arthrodesis, but no major changes in other balance metrics, and a notable complication rate that necessitated further surgeries for some patients.
Background: Treatment of scaphoid waist fractures is generally conservative in children but surgical in adults, given the relatively high risk of non-union in adults. In adolescents, the required therapeutic strategy is less well defined. The objective of this study was to compare the radiographic and clinical parameters, and the rate of complications, between non-surgical orthopedic treatment (OT) and surgical treatment (ST) by percutaneous screw fixation of these fractures in adolescents approaching skeletal maturity.

Methods: A total of 307 consecutive patients undergoing LT were retrospectively reviewed; 32 patients met the inclusion criteria: 1) underwent LT and developed THS; 2) age < 15 years at LT; 3) clinical and radiographic follow-up ≥ 5 years. Patients were divided into ipsilateral group (convexity ipsilateral to LT) and contralateral group (convexity contralateral to LT).
