TACTIC IN SURGICAL TREATMENT OF THORACIC IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The results of surgical treatment of 263 patients with thoracic scoliosis from 13 to 18 years old with deformity 50-152° (Cobb) are presented. It was used three tactical variants with dorsal instrumentation Cotrel-Dubousset (CDI). Operation correction in idiopathic thoracic scoliosis varies within in limits from 46,2 to 95%. Lost of correction in 10 years follow up period was 5,10-10,15%. Authors concluded that tactic of surgical treatment of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis should be individual and depends on patient's age, growth potential, and degree of deformation and mobility of the curve.
