Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1995, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
When compared vvith the adolescent patients surgical treatment of adult idiopathic scoliosis is a challenging problem. İn adults, curves are more rigid and risk of neurologic deficit is higher. İn this study, 23 patients, treated in 1st Orthopaedics and Traumatology Department of Ankara Sociai Security Hospital, betvveen December 1989 and December 1993 were evaluated. 11 of the patients were instrumented with Cotrel-Dubousset (CDI) system and the remaining 12 were instrumented with Texas Scottish Rite Hospital (TSRH) system. Preoperative mean Cobb angles were 56.6°±10.7 in CDI group and 68.6°±11.4° in TSRH group. Postoperative correction percentag-es in Cobb angles were 51.5+7.7~ for CDI and 58.1±6.8% for TSRH group. When ali patients are taken in to con-sideration mean correction of majör curves was 54.9±12.1%. Relief of pain was seen in 82.6% of the patients. İn light of these datas, we concluded that both of these systems are efficient in the treatment of selected adult idiopathic scoliosis cases.
