Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between traditional radiographic measurements of shoulder asymmetry and new surface topographic measurements, suggesting these relationships will be weak.
- Data was collected from a registry of patients with idiopathic scoliosis, focusing on ST scanning along with standard radiographic evaluation methods.
- Results showed that while the ST-based AC angle showed moderate-to-strong correlations with some radiographic measures, other ST measurements exhibited weak or no correlation, indicating a complex relationship between the two measurement types.
Background: Telehealth visits (THVs) have made it essential to adopt innovative ways to evaluate patients virtually. This study validates a novel THV approach that uses educational videos and an instructional datasheet, enabling parents to use smartphones to measure their child's scoliosis at home or in telehealth settings.
Methods: We identified a prospective cohort of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) scheduled for follow-up care from March to July 2021.
Historically, pedicle screw accuracy measurements have relied on CT and expert visual assessment of the position of pedicle screws relative to preoperative plans. Proper pedicle screw placement is necessary to avoid complications, cost and morbidity of revision procedures. The aim of this study was to determine accuracy and precision of pedicle screw insertion via a novel computer vision algorithm using preoperative and postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans.

Objectives: Patients with trisomy 21 (T21) often have soft tissue differences that lead to greater risk of postoperative wound complications. Our aim was to use a matched cohort of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with >2 year outcomes to determine odds of specific wound complications when comparing T21 and AIS patients.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Objective: To characterize the change in angle of trunk rotation (ATR), axial vertebral rotation (AVR), and body surface rotation (BSR) in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with en-bloc derotation across multiple postoperative visits.
Summary Of Background Data: Previous research has documented ATR, AVR, and BSR correction for AIS patients after surgery.
