CORRECTION OF THE RIB-HUMP and HRSF APPLICATION AT THE SAME STAGE IN THORACAL SCOLIOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In thoracal and thoracolumbar scoliosis, the first aim was always the correction of the lateral curve and thus the rib prominence remained uncorrected usually. The use of costectomie before or after Harrington Instrumentation for better correction versus cosmetic advantages was repoted by several authors. In the following article the adventages of costectomie at the same stage with the Harrington Instrumentation in thoracal scoliosis for better correction and some other facilities are noticed. CORRECTION OF THE RIB HUMP is the partial resection of the ribs at the apex of the prominence, causing the hump deformity. The technique is described below. Costectomie and Harrington Inst, is done AT THE SAME STAGE to reduce the number of operations for better correction, the latter applied seconderly. HRSF term is been used in general, thus only the distraction rod is applied, not the compression potion because of rib resection.
