A Novel Deformity Correction Manipulation System for Better Correction of Large Thoracic Scoliosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Treating patients with large thoracic scoliosis (between 70° and 100°) poses technical challenges, particularly with traditional correction techniques (TCT). To address this, we developed a novel deformity correction manipulation system (DCMS) aimed at reducing surgical complexity and trauma. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of DCMS in treating large thoracic scoliosis.

Methods

From January 2016 to June 2021, 76 patients with large thoracic scoliosis were included in this retrospective study. The patients were divided into two groups: DCMS (n = 34) and TCT (n = 42). Basic patient data including age at surgery, sex, etiology, Risser sign, flexibility of the main thoracic curve, instrumented levels, number of screws, duration of hospital stay, a
