Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Early-Onset Scoliosis Self-Report Questionnaire.

Objective: Early-Onset Scoliosis Self-Report Questionnaire (EOSQ-SELF) is a recently developed self-reported questionnaire based on the widely adopted Early-Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire and evaluates health-related quality of life in children with early-onset scoliosis over 8 years of age. To date, the questionnaire does not have a validated version in Turkish. The aim of this study was to translate EOSQ-SELF into Turkish and evaluate its reliability and validity.

Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis in Adolescents With Mild Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Controlled Clinical Trial.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Scientific Exercise Approach to Scoliosis (SEAS) protocol for patients with mild adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Method: (A controlled clinical trial) This preliminary study included 32 patients with AIS, aged 10 to 16 years, with Cobb angles ranging from 12° to 25°. The participants were divided into 2 groups: the SEAS group (n = 21) and standard care (n = 11).

Comparison of Surgical and Conservative Treatments for Gartland Type II Supracondylar Humerus Fractures: Evaluation of the Need for Surgical Treatment.

Background: Supracondylar humerus fractures (SHFs) are common pediatric injuries, with type II fractures being a topic of debate regarding optimal treatment. Our goals are to compare the functional and radiographic outcomes of conservative and surgical treatment of type II SHFs and their subgroups and to identify parameters for determining the optimal treatment option.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a total of 55 patients (23 conservative, 32 surgical) between 2010 and 2020.

Parent-patient Discrepancies in the Quality of Life Assessment of Early-onset Scoliosis: A Comparison Between 2 Questionnaires Completed on 2 Different Time Points - A Preliminary Report.

Background: EOSQ-24 is a parent proxy questionnaire designed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) patients during their childhood years. EOSQ-SELF, a novel self-reported questionnaire, assesses HRQoL in older children (>8 y) and adolescents. So far, the same group of EOS patients has not been evaluated with both EOSQ-24 and EOSQ-SELF.

Does in-brace correction affect coronal spinal and thoracic cage parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis? A retrospective cohort study.

The aim of the study is to identify the effects of in-brace correction on coronal spinal and thoracic cage parameters in individuals with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). The coronal spinal parameters [Cobb angle, apical vertebral rotation (AVR), lateral trunk shift, coronal alignment, biacromial slope and pelvic asymmetry] and the thoracic cage parameters [T1- 12 height, T1-S1 height, thoracic transverse diameter, and apical vertebral body-rib ratio (AVB-R)] of 89 child and adolescent patients were measured on posterior-anterior full-spine radiographs at pre-brace and in-brace conditions using Surgimap software. The initial in-brace correction (IBC) was calculated as a percentage decrease in the Cobb angle on the in-brace radiographs.
