University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, UC Health/University Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Background: The study aim was to present four new well-documented cases of spontaneous improvement of olisthetic scoliosis and to analyze well-documented cases from the literature.
Methods: Surgical log search and systematic review were conducted. Inclusion criteria were (1) age less than 18 years, (2) symptomatic high-grade (≥50%) spondylolisthesis, (3) scoliosis ≥20, (4) primary surgical treatment via lumbosacral fusion, (5) complete x-rays, and (6) minimum 1-year radiographic follow-up or until curve resolution.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the impact of different orientations of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) on complications and spinal height in patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS).
- The research reviewed data from 57 patients treated with dual MCGRs, examining outcomes based on whether rods were lengthened cephalad or offset and the use of cross-links.
- Results showed no significant differences in height gains or complications between different rod orientations or cross-link usage, suggesting that surgeons can confidently use either orientation without impacting patient outcomes.
Background: Modern treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) includes implantation of traditional growing rods (TGR) or magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for posterior-based distraction if nonoperative treatment plans failed. The recent MCGR innovation has largely been expected to improve patient and family burden by avoiding frequent return to the operating room. At least one study has shown no HRQoL difference between TGR and MCGR, but none have specifically investigated a cohort of conversion patients whose families have experienced both.

Introduction: In addition to patient characteristics, consideration of length of construct to number of anchored levels ratio and rod diameter should be a part of preoperative planning to minimize implant-related complications (IRCs). IRCs including rod breakage, anchor dislodgement, and pullout are among the most common adverse events in traditional growing rods (TGRs). The current study hypothesized that anchor type and configuration are associated with IRC.

Study Design: Retrospective review.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how several preoperative variables affect the outcome using the rib-to-pelvis S-hook constructs of a rib-based distraction implant (Vertical Expandable Prosthetic Titanium Rib).
Summary Of Background Data: Rib-to-pelvis fixation with S-hooks is one of the options for distal anchoring of rib-based distraction growing rod construct to control early-onset spinal deformity.
Sagittal Spinopelvic Parameters of Young Children With Scoliosis.
Spine Deform
September 2013
Primary Children's Hospital, Pediatric Orthopaedics, 100 N Mario Capecchi Drive, Suite 4550, Salt Lake City, UT, 84113, USA.
Study Design: Retrospective, multicenter review of the spinopelvic parameters in young children with scoliosis.
Objectives: To describe sagittal alignment of the spine and pelvis in young children with scoliosis.
Summary Of Background Data: The natural history of spinopelvic parameters has been defined for the first 10 years of life in normal children; however, they have not been described for children with scoliosis.
