Abstract

Introduction

This study aims to describe a novel minimal invasive early-onset scoliosis (EOS) growth rod concept, the Cody Bünger (CB) Concept, which combines concave interval distraction and contralateral-guided growth with apical control and to investigate the 3D deformity correction, the spinal growth, and the pulmonary development.

Method

A series of 38 children with progressive EOS and growth potential, receiving a highly specialized surgical treatment, including primary and conversion cases. Mean age was 10.2 years (4.4–15.8) with a mean follow-up of 5.6 years, and they underwent 168/184 open/magnetic lengthening procedures. Outcomes were as follows: scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis angles; apical rotation; spinal length; apical translation; coronal and sagittal vertical alignment; complications; and pulmonary function in a subgroup.

Results

Scoliosis improved from mean 76° (46–129) to 35° (8–74) post-op and was 42° (13–83) at end of treatment. Apical rotation was reduced by 30% but was partially lost during treatment. Thoracic kyphosis initially decreased by mean 15° and was partially lost during treatment. Lordosis was largely unaltered during treatment. Mean T1-S1 height increased from 30.7 cm (22.7–39.2) to 34.6 cm (27.8–45.1) postop and further increased to 38.5 cm (30.1–48.1) during treatment. This corresponded to a T1-S1 growth rate of 12 mm/year, and positive growth rates were found in all height parameters evaluated. Frontal balance and apical translation improved, whereas sagittal balance was unaltered. Complications occurred in 22/38 patients, and 11/38 had an unintended reoperation. Pulmonary function (FVC and FEV) increased but the relative lung function was unchanged.

Conclusion

The new growth rod concept provided 3D correction and spinal growth at complication rates comparable with other growth-friendly techniques for EOS, while pulmonary function was preserved. Single magnetic rod distraction was incorporated successfully, replacing surgical elongations.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
