Background: Multiple diseases, such as Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), present at adolescent age and the impact on quality of life (QoL) prolongs into adulthood. For the EQ-5D, a commonly used instrument to measure QoL, the current guideline is ambiguous whether the youth or adult version is to be preferred at adolescent age. To assess which is most suitable, this study tested for equivalence along predefined criteria of the youth (EQ-5D-5L) and adult (EQ-5D-Y-5L) version in an adolescent population receiving bracing therapy for AIS.

Background: Lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) selection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with structural lumbar curves (Lenke 3, 5, and 6) remains debated. The iliolumbar angle (ILA) measurement is useful for assessing the lumbosacral junction flexibility. If it is nonreducible, surgeons need to make a difficult choice between a potential "imperfect" L4, associated with a residual lumbosacral curve, or a more distal fusion performed later in life due to poorer functional outcomes.

Congenital scoliosis presenting in teenage years outcomes without hemivertebra excision.

Spine Deform

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedics, Spinal Deformity and Pediatric Orthopaedics, Billie and George Ross Center for Advanced Pediatric Orthopaedics and Minimally Invasive Spinal Surgery, Cohen Children's Medical Center, Northwell Hofstra School of Medicine, 7 Vermont Drive, Lake Success, NY, 11042, USA.

Purpose: In congenital scoliosis, the surgical strategy approach of hemivertebra excision, with or without instrumentation and fusion, is a common approach to correction of scoliosis. However, hemivertebra excisions are technically challenging, with potential complications including spinal cord injury, nerve root injury and cerebrospinal fluid leak. The purpose of this study was to determine whether correction of congenital scoliosis can be achieved using a posterior instrumentation/fusion-only approach without the need for hemivertebra excision.
