After a complete history and physical, you order PA thoracolumbar radiograph, which is seen in figure A. 12/11/2019. Cochran found increase incidence of low back pain with fusion to L5, and to a lesser extent L4. These curves can't be corrected simply by learning to stand up straight. Topics with the highest number of questions. 3: p. 14. An isolated long-segment instrumented posterior spinal fusion is considered in which of the following clinical situations? Imaging demonstrates a T9 failure of formation with contralateral segmentation failure, A 13-year old female Risser 2, with AIS and a Cobb angle of 27 degrees, (OBQ06.17) The cobb angle is 38 degrees. The Cobb angle is the most widely used measurement to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities, especially in the case of scoliosis, on plain radiographs.Scoliosis is defined as a lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle of >10° 4.A Cobb angle can also aid kyphosis or … (SAE07PE.25) After the history and physical examination, the next step in evaluating congenital scoliosis is obtaining x-rays. Tested Concept, (OBQ13.138) Technique guide are not considered high yield topics for orthopaedic standardized exams including the ABOS, EBOT and RC. teardrop view, remove pedicle probe/awl and probe tract with ball tip to confirm osseous channel and measure tract, for adults a minimum diameter of 8.5mm is typical and this may be appropriate for older teenagers, for younger children a smaller diameter may be necessary, place screw and confirm position with AP and teardrop fluoroscopic images, if orientation of pelvis/imaging is unclear, one can dissect along outer table, then, place finger in depression of sciatic notch to confirm direction of tract, make a separate fascial incision over the PSIS. Which statement best represents the indicated course of action in this patient? 1. Tested Concept, (SBQ09SP.17) Neuromuscular scoliosis is one of three main types of scoliosis that cause an irregular curvature of the spine. Pelvic fixation with Iliac Screws or 3. an alternative method is to dissect from midline and enter the medial wall of the iliac crest, expose the outer table to visualize trajectory (from PSIS to sciatic notch), use a rongeur just lateral to the PSIS to expose cancellous bone, use a lenke probe/awl to create a tract between the inner and outer wall of the iliac wing aiming toward the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) taking care to avoid the sciatic notch, probe tract with ball trip probe to confirm osseous channel and measure length of tract, place screw in tract and confirm position with c arm fluoroscopy, create channel from the PSIS to the lateral ilium by using progressively larger probes, this channel should pass just superior to the sciatic notch, once the channel is made, insert a rod (5.5 mm in smaller children) to a depth of 6-7 cm, Verify bony walls intact and measure depth of channel, probe the channel to ensure that the bony walls are intact and measure the depth of the channel for later Galveston Rod Placement, use bone wax to plug the hole at the PSIS to prevent blood from oozing before final rod placement, remove the facets with a rongeur, osteotome, burr or bone scalpel, start at the L5-S1 articulation and proceed cephalad to the level below the planned upper instrumented vertebrae, remove a window of ligamentum flavum at each interspinous region if planning wire passage, use gelfoam soaked in thrombin when needed to control local bleeding, if needed for additional deformity correction a ponte osteotomy can be performed by removing the facet in its entirety with a combination of a Kerrison rongeur and burr, Identify the pedicle starting point and use a high speed cortical burr to mark starting point and penetrate cortical surface, Insert lenke pedicle probe into the pedicle with the tip pointing laterally at the identified starting point and advance to 20mm or alternatively a 2.0 mm drill bit can be used, Probe the tract using a flexible sounding probe (ball tip probe) to palpate the superior, inferior, medial and lateral walls and the endpoint (floor), If no breeches are appreciated face Lenke probe medially and advance to anterior cortex or alternatively a 3.2 mm drill bit can be used, Place the pedicle screw slowly in the orientation of the tract that was created, Stimulate screws: if less than 6-8mA reevaluate screw position, Confirm position of screws with AP and lateral C-arm fluoroscopy, For additional details on pedicle screw placement see technique for idiopathic scoliosis, contour 16 gauge double wires to allow sublaminar passage, wire should be bent with a radius of curvature that approximates the width of the lamina, keep gentle pressure anteriorly to make sure you are not to deep and inadvertently damaging the cord, conversely do not push so hard on the undersurface of the lamina that the tip is caught and the wire is levered into the spinal cord, pull tip through until ends are of similar lengths, then can cut to separate the double wire, separate the wires placing one wire on each side of the spine, it is important to roll rather than push when placing sublaminar wires, add 5-10cm depending upon size and flexibility of the curve, If using SAI screws, the rod will need a sharp bend at lumbosacral junction (around 70 degrees), use hand benders to bend the rod at 90 degrees at the marked location, place the short end of the rod in the slot at the end of the Galveston Rod benders, have an assistant hold the long end of the rod parallel to the operating room table top, this should be held vertical to this plane, place a rod bender on the short end of the rod to bend the end 90 degrees to a position perpendicular to the operating room table, bend the kyphosis into the upper rod for appropriate sagittal plane alignment, bend the second rod so that it mirrors the shape of the first rod, insert the rod on either side of the scoliosis, Spread the sublaminar wire apart usually with the distal wire limb passing laterally, place a surgical towel over the wires of the second side to prevent confusion, after the wires have been spread insert the initial Galveston rod into the iliac wing and tamp into place at the PSIS, Prepare the rods for insertion add the depth of the iliac crest channel and the offset distance from the PSIS to the midpoint of the L5 lamina make a mark at the distance from the end of the straight rod, After placement examine the lateral iliac wing to ensure that the rod didn't penetrate laterally during insertion, It is better to use a softer/more flexible rod or do additional contouring for less correction than to pull out anchors, After rod is seated additional bending with in situ or L-benders can be performed to optimize correction, If using SAI screws can align rods with SAI screws and pedicle screws directly, If using iliac screws then will need a connector to attach to rods, can consider connecting the concave and convex rods via a connector for added rigidity, especially with weak bone, use serial reducers to load share on multiple fixation points, The T square of Tolo can be very helpful in intraoperatively assessing that pelvic obliquity is improved and sitting balance has been achieved, tighten the sublaminar wires starting at L5, sequentially tighten the wires on the side to L1 or L2, place downward pressure with rod pusher on the rod as a counterforce to the wire tightening to minimize the chance of wire pull through, contour the upper end of the rod in the kyphotic position to minimize the risk of pullout of the upper Implants, hold manually in place with a rod pusher while the 2 most cephalad sublaminar wires are tightened, Insert the concave side rod into the upper spinal implants, Hold the rod into place while the upper two sublaminar wires on the side are tightened, tighten the remaining sublaminar wires on the concave side, once all the have been tightened cut the twisted wire at a level that leaves them about 1 to 1.5 cm in length, consider placement of one additional cross link to stabilize the upper end of the instrumentation at the midthoracic level, bend the wire ends and tamp down to prevent dorsal protrusion, Sublaminar wires or bands can also be used to supplement screws especially with weak bone to avoid screw pullout, The wires or bands can be used to do provisional reduction and then rod can be seated in screws, decorticate the exposed bony areas through the region of intended fusion with rongeurs and a power burr, irrigate spine with saline (author's preference is to use a 3L bag of irrigation with castile soap), author's preference is to add vancomycin powder- mixing half of it with the bone graft and sprinkling half of it above the fascia once closed, place hemovac drain under fascia if there is enough bleeding/multiple osteotomies to raise concern for hematoma formation, need water tight closure and need to decrease dead space for hematoma, many of these children have conditions associated with slow or poor wound healing, if risk of dehiscence is high, consider reinforcing with use of additional nonabsorbable suture (3-0 nylon), Author's preference is to use waterproof layer at base to prevent soiling reaching the incision in patients who are developmentally delayed or have impaired sensation/inability to communicate when they have soiled the dressing, changes dressing when soiled or based on attending preference, review postoperative radiographs and identifies mal-positioned pedicle screws, loss of fixation and overall correction. This condition is called \"scoliosis\". Tested Concept, (OBQ12.176) By definition, scoliosis is any lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle>10° with terms including: 1. levoscolisois: curvature towards the left 2. dextroscoliosis: curvature towards the right Asymptomatic lateral curvature of the spine that is stable, with a Cobb angle ≤10° is known asspinal asymmetry2. A standing PA and lateral radiograph is shown in Figures A and B. The pain is worse after prolonged sitting and after carrying a heavy backpack at school. (SAE07PE.98) Discontinuation of bracing as she has reached skeletal maturity. What is neuromuscular scoliosis? In patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, bracing is indicated in which of the following conditions: At age 15, after 3 years of bracing, a repeat posteroanterior radiograph is obtained, now revealing a right thoracic curve measuring 11 degrees and the left lumbar curve measuring 19 degree, and Risser 4. Tested Concept, A 13-year old female, Risser 3, with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and a Cobb angle of 55 degrees, A 5-year old male, with juvenile idiopathic scoliosis (JIS) and a Cobb angle of 55 degrees, A 2-year old female with infantile idiopathic scoliosis (IIS), a flexible curve with a Cobb angle of 35°, and a RVAD of 25°, A 7-year-old with a progressive spinal deformity. PSF to pelvis for Neuromuscular Scoliosis, Anterior Cervical Diskectomy and Fusion with Plate and Peak Cage (ACDF), Posterior Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion, Posterior Laminectomy and Instrumented Fusion, Single Level Lumbar Decompression and Fusion (TLIF), MRI for very atypical curves or if there are other concerns, describes accepted indications and contraindications for surgical intervention, diagnose and management of early complications, check spinal radiographs in 3 months, 6 months and annually postoperatively to look for evidence of any implant complications, repeat xrays of entire spine (PA/lateral sitting), advance spine restrictions and activity levels, diagnosis and management of late complications, has at least 2 units of blood typed and crossed for I and D or hardware removal, need to carefully document neurological status of bilateral lower extremities, strength, sensation, reflexes, and primary symptoms, PA and lateral radiographic films of the entire spine, confirms no recent infection contraindicating surgery (UTI), describe complications of surgery including, implant misplacement, migration or failure, neurologic injury: loss of motor, sensation or bowel/bladder function, Determines upper and lower instrumented vertebra, Understands indications for including pelvis in fusion, describe the steps of the procedure to the attending prior to the start of the case, describe potential complications and steps to avoid them, neuromonitoring leads to upper and lower extremities for SSEPs and MEPs, Blood products available- typically 2 units PRBCs typed and crossed, prone with arms at 90° max shoulder abduction and elbow flexion to prevent axillary nerve injury, pads over ASIS and padding (gel, foam or pillows) on knees, hips and knees flexed (may flex hips more in cases of severe lordosis), Halofemoral traction may be helpful to passively correct curve and pelvic obliquity, When significant weight is being used for traction, blood pressure should be elevated, the more the hips are flexed, the more hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine will be passively corrected, however, be careful not to flex hips so much that the pelvis cannot be imaged because the thighs limit position of C-arm, make a midline incision starting from upper instrumented vertebrae all the way down to the sacrum, make the incision through the dermal layer only, deepen the incision to the level of the spinous processes, use weitlaner retractors to retract the skin margins, identify the interspinous ligament between the spinous process, as the incision is deepened, keep the retractors (weitlaner, cerebellar) tight to help with the exposure and to minimize the amount of bleeding, incise the cartilaginous caps overlying the spinous processes and expose the spinous process staying in the subperiosteal plane, perform dissection with Cobb and bovie electrocautery laterally out to the level of the transverse process, while exposing, move the weitlaner retractors to a deeper position for retraction and hemostasis, it is easier to dissect from caudad to cephalad because of the oblique attachments of the short rotator muscles and ligaments of the spine, generally the primary surgeon works from caudad to cephalad while the assistant works from cephalad to caudad so that they can dissect simultaneously, coagulate the branch of the segmental vessel just lateral to each facet, if placing SAI screws expose laterally to identify S1 and S2 foramen, using the same skin incision, identify and incise the fascia just lateral to the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) on each side, subperiosteally dissect the lateral iliac wing down to the sciatic notch, use Taylor or Sofield retractors to facilitate the exposure, expose the bone of the PSIS by using a rongeur to remove the fibrocartilaginous tissue at the PSIS, the T12 rib can also be used to aid in localizing the levels, starting point between the S1 and S2 foramen, in line with S1 pedicle screw starting point, Insert pedicle probe/awl and advance until resistance from sacroiliac joint is in encountered, angle towards greater trochanter, approximately 40° laterally and 40° caudally, though this varies with pelvic obliquity/deformity, Use c-arm fluoroscopy to confirm that tract is just above the level of the sciatic notch, use orthogonal imaging perpendicular to the tract of the probe and parallel to the probe, i.e. Team Orthobullets 4 Pediatrics - Spinal Muscular Atrophy ; Listen Now 10:46 min.
