Preceding neurosurgery is not needed for presumed adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with syringomyelia: a 10-year longitudinal comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One-stage scoliosis correction surgery is safe for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but it is not yet known whether it is safe for presumed AIS (PAIS). This study sought to investigate the safety and efficacy of one-stage scoliosis correction surgery for PAIS associated with syringomyelia from multiple perspectives by conducting an analysis of 10-year consecutive cases.

Methods

A retrospective study of all consecutive cases of patients diagnosed with PAIS associated with syringomyelia or AIS from January 2011 to January 2020 was performed. The main radiographic parameters and clinical function scores before, immediately after, and at the last follow-up were collected or measured. Three-dimensional (3D) models of spinal canal length were generated, refined, m
