ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of a new point contact pedicle navigation template (referred to as “new navigation template” for simplicity) in assisting screw implantation in scoliosis correction surgery. MethodsTwenty-five patients with scoliosis, who met the selection criteria between February 2020 and February 2023, were selected as the trial group. During the scoliosis correction surgery, the three-dimensional printed new navigation template was used to assist in screw implantation. Fifty patients who had undergone screw implantation with traditional free-hand implantation technique between February 2019 and February 2023 were matched according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria as the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in terms of gender, age, disease duration, Cobb angle on the coronal plane of the main curve, Cobb angle at the Bending position of the main curve, the position of the apical vertebrae of the main curve, and the number of vertebrae with the pedicle diameter lower than 50%/75% of the national average, and the number of patients whose apical vertebrae rotation exceeded 40°. The number of fused vertebrae, the number of pedicle screws, the time of pedicle screw implantation, implant bleeding, fluoroscopy frequency, and manual diversion frequency were compared between the two groups. The occurrence of implant complications was observed. Based on the X-ray films at 2 weeks after operation, the pedicle screw grading was recorded, the accuracy of the implant and the main curvature correction rate were calculated. ResultsBoth groups successfully completed the surgeries. Among them, the trial group implanted 267 screws and fused 177 vertebrae; the control group implanted 523 screws and fused 358 vertebrae. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in terms of the number of fused vertebrae, the number of pedicle screws, the pedicle screw grading and accuracy, and the main curvature correction rate. However, the time of pedicle screw implantation, implant bleeding, fluoroscopy frequency, and manual diversion frequency were significantly lower in trial group than in control group (P<0.05). There was no complications related to screws implantation during or after operation in the two groups. ConclusionThe new navigation template is suitable for all kinds of deformed vertebral lamina and articular process, which not only improves the accuracy of screw implantation, but also reduces the difficulty of operation, shortens the operation time, and reduces intraoperative bleeding.
In order to conduct surface monitoring of the three-dimensional spine morphology of the human body in daily life, a spine morphology measuring method using "single camera, multi-view" to construct stereo vision is proposed. The images of the back of the human body with landmarks of spinous process are captured from multiple angles by moving a single camera, and based on the "Zhang Zhengyou calibration method" and the triangulation principle of binocular stereo vision, the spatial conversion matrices corresponding to each other between all images and the 3D coordinates of the landmarks are calculated. Then the spine evaluation angle used to evaluate the spine morphology is further calculated. The tests’ results showed that the spine evaluation angle error of this method is within ±3°, and the correlation between the results and the X-ray film Cobb angles is 0.871. The visual detection algorithm used in this paper is non-radioactive, and because only one camera is used in the measurement process and there is no need to pre-set the camera's shooting pose, the operation is simple. The research results of this article can be used in a mobile phone-based intelligent detection system, which will be suitable for the group survey of scoliosis in communities, schools, families and other occasions, as well as for the long-term follow-up of confirmed patients. This will provide a reference for doctors to diagnose the condition, predict the development trend of the condition, and formulate treatment plans.

ObjectiveTo compare the changes of scoliosis and kyphosis angles after Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy versus simple posterior spinal osteotomy for severe rigid spinal deformity.MethodsA clinical data of 28 patients with severe rigid spinal deformity between January 2015 and November 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated by Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy (group A) and 12 patients were treated with posterior spinal osteotomy only (group B). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in gender, age, body mass index, and preoperative pulmonary function, coronal and sagittal Cobb angles, and flexibility. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were recorded. The coronal and sagittal Cobb angles were measured on X-ray films before operation (before traction in group A), at 10 days after operation, at last follow-up in the two groups and after traction in group A. The improvement rate of deformity after traction in group A, the correction rate of deformity after operation, and the loss rate of correction at last follow-up were calculated.ResultsAll patients were followed up 24-30 months (mean, 26.5 months). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in group A than in group B (t=7.629, P=0.000; t=8.773, P=0.000). In group A, 1 patient occurred transient numbness of both legs during continuous traction and 2 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours. In group B, 7 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours, including 1 patient with deep incision infection. The incidence of complications was 18.75% (3/16) in group A and 58.33% (7/12) in group B, and the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2=4.680, P=0.031). The coronal and sagittal improvement rates of deformity after traction in group A were 40.47%±3.60% and 40.70%±4.20%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05) in the coronal and sagittal Cobb angles at 10 days after operation and at last follow-up, in the correction rate of deformity after operation, and in the loss rate of correction at last follow-up.ConclusionFor the severe rigid spinal deformity, Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy and simple posterior spinal osteotomy can obtain the same orthopedic effect and postoperative deformity correction. However, the Halo-pelvic traction can shorten operation time, reduce blood loss and incidence of perioperative complications.
Spina bifida and tethered spinal cord are congenital diseases that can lead to severe disability. At present, most doctors in relevant specialties in China still have insufficient understanding of spina bifida, resulting in high incidence and aggravation of its complications. To provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida and tethered spinal cord in China, experts from neurosurgery, urology, orthopedics, spine surgery, and rehabilitation departments who have experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida discussed and summarized their experiences, and referred to the relevant literature on the diagnosis and treatment of spina bifida at home and abroad. Expert consensus was formed in the following aspects: concept, classification, and pathological changes of spina bifida; diagnosis; treatment process and operation timing; principles and methods of treatment; rehabilitation; and follow up. This expert consensus can provide reference for relevant care providers of spina bifida in China.
Objective To review the King-types Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients treated by the CD hybrid technique and evaluate clinical results on the shorter fusion levels. Methods Fifty-eight patients with idiopathic scoliosis were treated by the CD hybrid method from March 2000 to January 2003, among whom 40 were grouped as Kingtype Ⅲ and 18 as Kingtype Ⅳ; 41 were female and 17 were male. The Cobb angle of the thoracic curve was averaged 64°(range 50-83°), and the curve flexibility was 62%. The compensative lumbarcurve was averaged 37°（range 16-48°）, and the curve flexibility was 105%. With the neutral rotational vertebrae as a basis to select the low instrumentation vertebrae, the neutral rotational vertebrae or the vertebrae at 1 or 2 levelsproximal to the neutral rotational vertebrae were selected as the low instrumentation vertebrae in all the patients. Standing AP and lateral radiographs were taken respectively at the discharge, during the follow-up after discharge, and at the final follow-up. Results The patients were followed up for an average of 2.4 years (range 1.8-3.2). The corrected curves lost an average of 3.1°（range -1-5°）and the correction rate of the thoracic curve was 68% at the final follow-up.The plumbline from C7 was parallel to the sacral midline in 56 patients. The lumbar curves were corrected to an average of 8°（2-13°）automatically. The lumbosacral angle was corrected automatically by 53% and the low instrumentation vertebrae in 48 patients turned into stable vertebrae. The low instrumentation vertebrae lost 1.4 segments on average compared with the Harrington principle. No spinal imbalance was clinically observed in all the patients. Conclusion The choice of the low instrumentation vertebrae as the neutral rotational vertebrae can have a good result in the clinical practice. It can be applied in the CD hybrid technique in treatment of idiopathicthoracic curves.
【Abstract】 Objective To observe the effects of scoliosis on pulmonary function. Methods 31 cases of scoliosis were included and underwent pulmonary function test ( PFT) . The cases were divided into an adolescent group ( 16 cases) and an adult group ( 15 cases) according to age. Predicted value was used as a reference to assess various PFT parameters. Results In both groups, forced expiratory volume in one second, forced vital capacity, and pulmonary diffusion decreased. In the adolescent group, residual volume,functional residual volume, and total lung capacity decreased. In the adult group, vital capacity and maximal voluntary ventilation decreased, the ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity decreased, and resonance frequencies increased significantly compared with the adolescent group ( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusion Scoliosis may lead to restrictive ventilation defect, which is mainly lung volume reduction in adolescent patients and more severe in adult patients.
