Comparison and Evaluation of the Accuracy for Thoracic and Lumbar Pedicle Screw Fixation in Early-Onset Congenital Scoliosis Children.

Background: Compared to adult scoliosis, correcting scoliosis in children often presents greater challenges. This is attributed to two key factors. Firstly, it involves accounting for the growth potential of children.

Treatment of Atlantoaxial Dislocation in Children with Down Syndrome Using Posterior Atlantoaxial Screw Fixation.

Background: To investigate the effect of posterior atlantoaxial screw fixation for the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation in children with Down syndrome (DS).

Methods: Children diagnosed with DS who underwent posterior atlantoaxial screw fixation or occipitocervical fusion from January 2017 to January 2020 in Hebei Children's Hospital were retrospectively included. Preoperative CT and MRI were performed to check the os odontoideum (OsO) and spinal cord compression, signal changes and spinal cord injury grade (ASIA grade).
