Rod derotation and translation techniques provide comparable functional outcomes for surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis - A retrospective, cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the functional outcome of the two most commonly used methods of Adolescence Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) correction surgery using rod rotation and translation techniques from a single center in Indonesia.

Method

We performed retrospective, cross-sectional study of patients with AIS who underwent deformity correction surgery by either technique in Fatmawati General Hospital from January 2016 to March 2018. All patients were asked to complete scoliosis research society (SRS)-22 questionnaire.

Result

Both methods of surgical correction yielded similar functional outcome as recorded in SRS-22 score, 3.67 for rod derotation technique and 3.44 for translation technique (p = 0.235).

Conclusion

Both rod derotation and translation technique re
