Article Synopsis
- Idiopathic scoliosis affects a significant portion of children, with 0.47-5.2% of the population impacted, yet not all surgeons perform MRI imaging unless neurological symptoms are present.
- A review of 11 studies involving 3,372 pediatric patients found that 14.7% of those with scoliosis and normal neurology had neuro-axial abnormalities, specifically 8.3% had Chiari malformation and 8.4% had syringomyelia.
- Given that early detection and treatment of these conditions can improve scoliosis outcomes, it is recommended that MRI screening be conducted for all scoliosis patients, regardless of neurological exam results, to explore potential long-term benefits.
Background: The concept of femoral neck preservation in total hip replacement (THR) was introduced in 1993. It is postulated that retaining cortical bone of the femoral neck offers triplanar stability, uniform stress distribution, and accommodates physiological anteversion. However, data on safety, efficacy and learning curve are lacking.
