Study Design: Monocentric study comparing results of simultaneous translation on 2 rods (ST2R) with derotation connectors (prospective series) or without derotation connectors (retrospective series) in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) surgery.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess if derotation connectors influence axial, coronal, and sagittal results in AIS surgery.
Summary Of Background Data: Conventional reduction techniques remain limited in their ability to reduce axial torsion. Direct vertebral derotation technique accomplishes partial axial derotation but decreases thoracic kyphosis.
Methods: Monocentric study including AIS surgeries performed using ST2R technique with derotation connectors (group D+, n=44) or without derotation connectors (group D-, n=24). The axial intervertebral rotation was measured between apical and neutral vertebra on pre and postoperative computed tomography scan. T test was used to compare mean values. ANCOVA analyzed the influence of connectors and covariates on the primary outcome, which was the difference between preoperative and postoperative intervertebral rotation.
Results: The mean axial torsion gain in the D+ group was 23% (+3.84 degrees, 95% confidence interval, +1.95/+5.73). In the D- group, mean axial torsion increase of 4% (-0.42 degrees, 95% confidence interval, -1.19/+2.03). The result was significantly different between the 2 groups (P=0.005). The coronal correction of the main curve angle was 80% in the D+ group and 64% in the D- group (P=0.004). Kyphosis correction was similar between the 2 groups (P=0.3) with significant increase of thoracic kyphosis in the whole series (P=0.02) and no patients with postoperative hypokyphosis <10 degrees. Multivariate analysis confirmed the influence of derotation connectors on both axial and coronal correction (P<0.05).
Conclusions: The use of derotation connectors in the surgical treatment of AIS significantly improved axial and coronal correction compared to nonuse of connectors without compromising the sagittal plane.

Introduction: When performing posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), it is of major importance to address both coronal and sagittal deformities. Although several techniques have been described, few data exist comparing them. Our objective was to compare four techniques (in situ bending (ISB), rod derotation (RD), cantilever (C) and posteromedial translation (PMT)) for the correction of spinal deformity in AIS including thoracic deformity.

Unlabelled: Neuromuscular scoliosis is characterized by rapid progression of curvature during growth and may continue to progress following skeletal maturity. Posterior spinal fusion in patients with cerebral palsy and severe scoliosis results in substantial improvements in health-related quality of life. Correction of pelvic obliquity can greatly improve sitting balance, reduce pain, and decrease skin breakdown.

Introduction: Sagittal and axial corrections of the three-dimensional deformity characteristic of scoliosis remain challenging.
Materials And Method: The author developed a new technique for scoliosis correction consisting of the translation of vertebrae simultaneously towards two rods, which are pre-bent to the correct sagittal profile. Using two rods ensures both reduction and stabilization of the curve.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficiency of a central rod system in the treatment of scoliosis. DESIGN: Biomechanical testing and finite element analysis were performed to compare the stiffness and stress distribution of the central rod system with the Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation. BACKGROUND: During the fixation and derotation processes in the treatment of scoliosis, the Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation concentrates unilateral stress on the vertebral elements.
