Management of severe scoliosis in patients with Turner's syndrome: A case series.

Aims And Objectives: The prevalence and treatment of severe scoliosis and other spinal anomalies in patients with Turner's syndrome (TS) is not well reported. This is the largest case series to date regarding the treatment course and outcomes of severely scoliotic TS patients.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed to identify all patients with TS seen at a single center academic pediatric institution from 2007 to 2021.

Scoliosis and Kyphosis Prevalence in Turner Syndrome: A Retrospective Review at a Pediatric Tertiary Care Medical Center.

Background: The prevalence of major coronal and sagittal spinal curves (scoliosis and kyphosis) in Turner syndrome (TS) is not well established due to limited reporting. The relationship between growth hormone (GH) therapy and its effect on TS spinal curve incidence is also not well established.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of 306 TS patients from 2007 to 2021 evaluated major coronal and sagittal spinal curves, progression of the curve, and treatment with GH.

Introduction of an enhanced recovery pathway results in decreased length of stay in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion: A description of implementation strategies and retrospective before-and-after study of outcomes.

Study Objective: This study assessed whether implementation of an enhanced recovery-based pathway decreased length of stay without increasing readmissions among patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion.

Design: Retrospective observational before-and-after study.

Setting: A tertiary children's hospital.

Elucidating the inherent features of IS to better understand idiopathic scoliosis etiology and progression.

Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) is a relatively common condition and is estimated to affect as many as 3 % of youth aged 10-17 years (in the United States an estimated approximately 1.4 million otherwise healthy individuals). A clear understanding of the etiology will better direct optimization of evaluation, treatments and therapies, especially early treatments with less invasive methods.
