Clinical and radiological outcomes of minimally-invasive surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis at a minimum two years’ follow-up
The Bone & Joint Journal Apr 03, 2020
de Bodman C, et al. - This study was attempted to evaluate if or not a minimally-invasive surgery (MIS) technique could offer improved results. Researchers retrospectively enrolled consecutive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) individuals treated with an MIS technique at two tertiary centres between June 2013 and March 2016. They examined preoperative patient deformity characteristics, perioperative parameters, power of deformity correction, and complications. A sum of 93 individuals were recruited in this study. It was noted that MIS for AIS is correlated with a significant correction of spine deformity in the frontal and sagittal planes, together with low estimated blood loss and short length of stay. Compared with the standard open technique based on the literature data, they found lower perioperative complication rate. The rests consider that the longer-term safety of MIS for AIS requires to be documented with a larger cohort and correlated with the standard posterior approach.
