Changes in surface and radiographic deformity after Universal Spine System for right thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: is rib-hump reassertion a mechanical problem of the thoracic cage rather than an effect of relative anterior spinal overgrowth?

Abstract:

STUDY DESIGN:Analysis of preoperative, 8-week, 1-year, and 2-year data from patients with right thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis treated by posterior Universal Spine System (Stratec Medical, Oberdorf, Switzerland). OBJECTIVE:Report 2-year results and the association between back surface and radiographic assessments. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:Few longitudinal studies have related surface and radiographic data in the follow-up of surgical patients. METHODS:Of 34 patients with right thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis having posterior Universal Spine System instrumentation, 27 had complete prospective back surface and radiographic appraisal. RESULTS:Cobb angle corrected from 58 degrees to 34 degrees (41%), apical vertebral rotation from 26 degrees to 20 degrees (23%), apical vertebral translation from 4.5 to 2.4 cm (47%), and maximum angle of trunk inclination from 17 degrees to 13 degrees (22%) (preoperative to 2 years). Rib-hump reassertion occurred between 8 weeks and 1 year, regardless of age, and correlated with changes in vertebral translation (for 10 vertebral levels corresponding to 10 back surface levels between C7 and S1, P = 0.001 MANOVA). Preoperative frontal tilt of L1 with concave fifth rib-spinal angle predicted the percentage correction of maximum angle of trunk inclination, and the concave ninth rib-spinal angle predicted reassertion of maximum angle of trunk inclination. CONCLUSIONS:Almost half of initial back surface correction is lost by 2 years. Segmental vertebral translation measurements most strongly correlate with segmental angle of trunk inclination measurements during follow-up. Rib-hump reassertion is best explained by unwinding of the thoracic cage tensioned by surgery rather than through relative anterior spinal overgrowth. Spine and thoracic cage factors determine rib-hump correction, so surgical disruption of the latter by costoplasty may prevent rib-hump reassertion. Results of scoliosis surgery should include surface data.
