Posterior instrumented correction and fusion of Scheuermann´s results in physiological reconstruction of sagittal alignment and excellent overall clinical outcome- clinical trail of 73 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim was to assess the clinical outcomes after posterior spinal fusion (PSF) in patients with Scheuermann's disease (SD).

Methods

SD undergoing PSF were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical outcome was determined using SRS-22- and Eq. 5D-questionaires preop and after 3, 12, 24 months after surgery. Whole spine x-rays were analyzed (preop, postop, after 6, 12, 24 months): sagittal and coronary Cobb angles, and pelvic parameters were evaluated; ideal lumbar lordosis (LL) was calculated using formula of le Huec (LL = 0.54*PI + 27.6). Surgical time, complications and blood loss were compared. Postop appearance of proximal (PJF) and distal junction failure (DJF) were calculated. Values were given as mean. Comparison with significance α = 0.05.

Results

73 patients
