Standard treatment for skeletally immature adolescents with moderate Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a full-time spinal orthosis. However, adherence to full-time wear (≥ 18 h/day) is often challenging for these patients. Nighttime bracing is an alternative option that may improve patient adherence and/or satisfaction. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of nighttime bracing in patients with AIS.

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a commonly encountered clinical and radiographic phenomenon after pediatric and adolescent spinal deformity surgery that may lead to post-operative deformity, pain, and dissatisfaction. Understanding the risk factors of PJK can be useful for pre-operative informed consent as well as to identify any potential preventative strategies.

The management of scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis in patients with Type 1 Neurofibromatosis (NF-1) among spinal surgeons is still challenging due to the severity of the deformity especially in dystrophic deformity types.

While there has been a great improvement in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, sagittal deformity correction has remained challenging. Increased rod stiffness has been shown to reduce thoracic flattening. We propose that the surgical technique can increase rod stiffness. A mechanical study was created to quantify the effect this has on construct stiffness.

Physician review websites have significant influence on a patient’s selection of a provider, but written reviews are subjective. Sentiment analysis of writing through artificial intelligence can quantify surgeon reviews to provide actionable feedback.

Using X-ray to evaluate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) conditions is the clinical gold standard, with potential radiation hazards. 3D ultrasound has demonstrated its validity and reliability of estimating X-ray Cobb angle (XCA) using spinous process angle (SPA), which can be automatically measured.

In contrast to infection and curve progression, return to OR for implant malposition is potentially within the surgeon’s control. With increasing surgeon familiarity with freehand/fluoroscopic pedicle screw placement, rates of return to OR due to malposition may have decreased over time. We sought to document the incidence and risk factors for return to OR due to screw malposition in a large cohort of patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

To assess if the preservation of preoperative kyphosis within the cephalad two motion segments of instrumented posterior spinal fusions (PSF), for idiopathic scoliosis (IS), would be associated with lower frequency of proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) at 2Â years postoperatively.

Typically, selection of lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is based on the coronal radiograph; however, increasing evidence suggests that fusions proximal to the stable sagittal vertebrae (SSV) on the lateral radiograph can result in distal junctional kyphosis (DJK).

Congenital spinal deformities (CSD) are uncommon; and usually present during early childhood. Rarely, patients have been reported to present with neglected CSD in association with myelopathy. The current study reports the largest series of patients with neglected CSD and major neuro-deficit; and discusses their long-term outcome.

Intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has historically been difficult to obtain in patients with Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease. Transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcMEPs) have been found to be safe and effective for other spinal deformity patients. Our objective was to determine the effectiveness of TcMEP monitoring in patients with CMT.

The utility of tranexamic acid (TXA) in patients with Marfan syndrome (MFS) is uncertain given associated aberrations within the vasculature and clotting cascade. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association of TXA use with intraoperative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusions in patients with MFS who underwent spinal arthrodesis.

Deep surgical site infections (SSIs) are a common and potentially severe complication in early onset scoliosis (EOS) patients. We sought to identify the long-term outcomes following SSI, specific risk factors associated with recurrent infections, and if instrument retention is a prudent SSI management strategy in EOS.
