The effect of simple local resection on pain and scoliotic curve in patients with scoliosis secondary to osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma in the spine.

Objective: The aim of this study was assess the results of local resection without instrumentation in patients with scoliosis secondary to spinal osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma.

Methods: The review of our database revealed 176 cases of osteoid osteomas and 18 of osteoblastomas. Painful scoliosis was seen in 5 out of 6 cases.

Preoperative and Postoperative Photographs and Surgical Outcomes of Patients With Kyphosis.

Study Design: A retrospective clinical study was performed.

Objective: The aim of the study was to show patients their pre- and postoperative body photographs, and determine the effect on postoperative patient satisfaction for thoracic and thoracolumbar sharp and round angular kyphosis.

Summary Of Background Data: Previous studies have reported the normative values of pelvic sagittal parameters and the classification of normal patterns of sagittal curvature, but no study has investigated and compared the clinical photographs of sharp and round kyphosis.
