ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
This is a retrospective cohort, single-center quality improvement study.OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the effect of the intraoperative skull femoral traction (IOSFT) on sagittal balance in posterior spinal instrumentation (PSI) to manage scoliosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA IOSFT has been used routinely as an adjunct technique for facilitating PSI to manage scoliosis in our institution since 2010. Previous studies have raised concerns regarding the negative effect of IOSFT on lumbar lordosis. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The medical records and radiographs of 113 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis managed with single stage PSI were reviewed. Eighty-five patients were operated with IOSFT (traction group) and 28 patients were operated without traction (nontraction group). Patients who had double (anterior-posterior) approaches or nonidiopathic scoliosis were excluded. Sagittal balance and pelvic parameters at 2 years of postoperative follow-up were the primary outcome measures. Statistical analysis was done with R for statistical computing. Median values and interquartile range were compared between groups using Wilcoxon rank sum, Fischer exact, and Welch t tests. P-values of <0.05 were considered statistically significant.RESULTS:
No significant differences were found comparing postoperative lumbar lordosis in the nontraction group (54 degrees) with the traction group (53 degrees) (P=0.4953). No significant differences were found in postoperative sagittal vertical axis medians comparing both groups, with 17 mm in the nontraction group and 18 mm in the traction group (P=0.3994). No significant differences were found in postoperative pelvic parameters. The median pelvic incidence was 52 degrees in the nontraction group and 50 degrees in the traction group (P=0.2711).CONCLUSIONS:
According to our results, the use of IOSFT as an adjunct to facilitate PSI for managing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis had no measurable negative impact on sagittal balance in our IOSFT cohort.
