COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE TYPES OF FIXATION IN ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

ESTUDO COMPARATIVO DOS TIPOS DE FIXAÇÃO NA ESCOLIOSE IDIOPÁTICA DO ADOLESCENTE

ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO DE LOS TIPOS DE FIJACIÓN EN LA ESCOLIOSIS IDIOPÁTICA DEL ADOLESCENTE

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To conduct a comparative study of the results obtained in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with different types of fixations (traditional, selective and multiple), and to evaluate the correction of angular deformity in the frontal plane by the Cobb and sacral clavicular angle (SCA) methods.

Methods:

A study of a group of 278 patients with AIS who underwent selective, traditional, and multiple fixation surgeries.

Results:

Significant corrections of both the Cobb angle and the SCA were observed.

Conclusions:

In the multiple fixation surgeries there was a 100% correction between the preoperative and postoperative SCA values and a 50% correction in the traditional and selective fixations, a difference considered significant. Regarding the Cobb angle, the three fixations presented corrections between preop and postop with significant differences. Level of evidence III; Retrospective Study.
