Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how variations in thoracic inlet measurements correlate with pulmonary dysfunction in patients with thoracic kyphoscoliosis, categorized by curve magnitude into three groups based on their Cobb angle.
  • - Conducted with 80 patients and 20 controls, the research found significant differences in thoracic inlet index (TI) values, particularly noting severe pulmonary dysfunction in patients with severe curve magnitudes (Group 3).
  • - The findings highlight the importance of the thoracic inlet index as a useful pre-operative measure for assessing pulmonary function in kyphoscoliosis, which can be evaluated through MRI with no added cost or radiation exposure.
