A 10-year radiographic study comparing anterior vs posterior instrumented spinal fusion in patients with lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Spine Apr 19, 2020
Lim JL, Hey HWD, Kumar N, et al. - A prospective cohort study was sought to compare the long term, radiographic coronal and sagittal outcomes of these two approaches at 10-year follow-up. Researchers enrolled a total of 36 patients who had undergone anterior (n = 25) or posterior instrumented spinal fusion (n = 11) for Lenke 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis over a 4-year period and followed for 10 years. After 10 years of follow-up, the eviduce suggested that both anterior and posterior instrumentation and fusion are successful surgeries. They are comparable with regards to their ability to achieve and maintain good correction of scoliotic deformities and have a low rate of pseudoarthrosis and instrument failure. They maintained ideal sagittal parameters up to 10 years of follow-up.
