Coughlin GH, Shah SA, Gupta A, Bauer JM. The use of skin traction as an intraoperative adjunct for correction during pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis correction. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2025; 34:602-609. [PMID: 39656310 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-024-08598-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 11/16/2024] [Accepted: 11/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2025]
Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoperative traction can improve deformity correction during posterior spinal fusion (PSF). This is commonly done with invasive distal femoral or pelvic pins, or traction boots. The novel technique of intraoperative skin traction (ISkinT) avoids risks associated with intraoperative skeletal traction (ISkelT) or hyperlordosis with extended hip position. We aimed to describe ISkinT and assess its safety and efficacy in PSF in non-ambulatory scoliosis. METHODS Retrospective review of patients aged 10-21yo who underwent T2-pelvis PSF with ISkinT from 2017 to 2023. Demographics and radiographic measurements were statistically compared to a published cohort that used ISkelT. RESULTS 42 patients treated with ISkinT were included and compared to 41 patients treated with ISkelT. ISkinT was applied by a cranial attachment and an average of 12% body weight to the pelvis with the hips and knees flexed, using tape-rope-weight system with Trendelenburg assistance. The preop major Cobb was 90°±21° in the ISkinT cohort and 91°±17° in the ISkelT cohort (p = 0.743; d = 0.07), which corrected 75% in ISkinT and 53% in ISkelT (p < 0.0001; d = 1.3). Preop pelvic obliquity averaged 23°± 10° in ISkinT and 34°±14° in ISkelT that corrected 74% in ISkinT and 65% in ISkelT (p < 0.0001; d = 0.95). No intraop or postoperative skin traction-related complications occurred, including neuromonitoring complications (obtained in 88%). CONCLUSION In non-ambulatory neuromuscular pediatric scoliosis patients, ISkinT during PSF to the pelvis is a safe and effective technique for deformity correction. There were no associated complications and no difference of corrective capacity for ISkinT compared to ISkelT. ISkinT can be considered for T2-pelvis PSF for pediatric scoliosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE (1) To determine probabilities of immediate postoperative new motor deficits after no, reversible, and irreversible motor evoked potentials (MEP) deteriorations and (2) to calculate the same outcome considering whether MEP deteriorations were followed by surgical interventions in the absence of confounding factors. METHODS We analyzed MEPs from 513 surgeries. Four-limb MEPs were evoked by transcranial electrical stimulation. Baseline recordings were obtained before skin incision and updated before instrumentation. Motor evoked potentials deteriorations were considered significant whenever they showed a persistent, reversible, or irreversible amplitude decrease of >80% of the baseline values. RESULTS Nine patients showed postoperative new motor deficits. Probabilities of postoperative new motor deficits were null, 2.8%, and 36.8% with no, reversible, and irreversible MEP deteriorations, respectively. The risk of immediate postoperative new motor deficits was significantly lower ( P = 0.0002) in reversible MEP compared with irreversible MEP deteriorations. In patients showing reversible/irreversible MEP deteriorations in the absence of confounding factors, surgical interventions compared with nonsurgical interventions significantly decreased the risk of immediate postoperative new motor deficits ( P = 0.0216). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that probabilities of immediate postoperative new motor deficits increase with the severity of intraoperative MEP changes. In addition, our results support the value of surgical interventions triggered by MEP deteriorations to reduce postoperative adverse motor outcomes.

Multi-rod posterior correction only with halo-femoral traction for the management of adult neuromuscular scoliosis (> 100°) with severe pelvic obliquity: a minimum 5-year follow-up. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:786. [PMID: 37858229 PMCID: PMC10585782 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04285-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/14/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) experience a variety of difficult medical problems that aggravate the development effects of progressive scoliosis and pelvic obliquity (PO). The objective of the current study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of multi-rod posterior correction only (MRPCO) with halo-femoral traction (HFT) for the management of adult NMS (> 100°) with severe PO. METHODS From 2012 to 2017, 13 adult patients who suffered from NMS (> 100°) with severe PO underwent MRPCO with HFT. The radiography parameters in a sitting position, such as the coronal Cobb angle of the main curve, the PO and the trunk shift (TS), were measured at the preoperative, postoperative and final follow-up stages. The preoperative and final follow-up assessment of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was taken. RESULTS The average follow-up span was 68.15 ± 6.78 months. There was decreased postoperative coronal Cobb angle with an average mean of 125.24° ± 11.78° to 47.55° ± 12.10°, with a correction rate of 62.43%; the PO was reduced to 6.25° ± 1.63° from 36.93° ± 4.25° with a correction rate of 83.07%; the TS was reduced to 2.41 cm ± 1.40 cm from 9.19 cm ± 3.07 cm. There was significant improvement in all parameters compared to the preoperative data. The VAS score reduced from 4.77 ± 0.93 to 0.69 ± 0.75, and the ODI score reduced from 65.38 ± 16.80 to 28.62 ± 12.29 at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of adult NMS (> 100°) with severe PO could be safe and effective with MRPCO with HFT. In order to obtain the optimum sitting balance, this could reduce the prevalence of complications and rectify the curvature and the correction of PO.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the results of prolonged post-operative halo-gravity traction in a patient in whom the surgery had to be interrupted unexpectedly and for whom subsequently specific clinical circumstances contraindicated completion of the surgical procedure. METHODS The patient was a 15-year-old male with severe cervico-dorsolumbar lordoscoliosis who was being studied for associated diffuse axonal injury. He performed halo-gravity traction for 12 weeks. Subsequent surgical management consisted of occipito-lumbar posterior instrumented fusion. During the surgical approach, electrocardiographic changes with hemodynamic decompensation were detected that did not improve with anesthetic reanimation. The intervention was stopped, the surgical wound was closed, and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). It was decided that a revision surgery with the aim to continue with the previous strategy would imply a high risk of perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Orthopedic management was decided upon consisting of continued halo-gravity traction with wheelchair modification at home, which was extended to a period of 12 months because of the good results obtained in terms of cervicothoracic realignment. Two years after halo-gravity discontinuation, clinical and radiographic occipito-cervical alignment was good and the patient conserved certain occipito-cervical range of motion and had the capacity of maintaining a horizontal gaze. CONCLUSION We considered the outcome extraordinary and relevant in this complex and unusual patient. A longer follow-up will provide more data regarding the final outcome of this treatment.

Abstract
Background The treatment of severe and rigid scoliosis is challenging. We developed a surgical strategy for severe and rigid scoliosis since 2014. This study aimed to retrospectively analyze the safety and efficacy of apical region correction and global balance with 3 rods as a surgical strategy for the treatment of severe and rigid scoliosis. Methods A retrospective study was performed for patients with severe and rigid scoliosis who underwent one-stage posterior corrective operation using the apical region correction and global balance with 3 rods surgical strategy between February 2014 and April 2020. The inclusion criteria were as follows: [1] Cobb angle > 90°; [2] flexibility < 30%; [3] a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients were excluded if they had a history of traction or spinal surgery. Coronal and sagittal parameters, including Cobb angle, flexibility, apex vertebra translation, trunk shift (TS), thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were measured preoperatively, postoperatively and at the final follow-up. The Scoliosis Research Society 22-item questionnaire was administered preoperatively and at the final follow-up. During the operation, one slightly-bent short rod was placed into the concave side of apical region and correction was achieved by rod-rotation and distraction. Two pre-bent long rods were placed into both sides of the scoliosis and global balance was improved by leveling the proximal thoracic vertebrae and distal lumbar vertebrae. Results A total of 41 patients were included, with an average age of 20 years (range, 12–49 years) and follow-up of 34 months (range, 24–58 months). Postoperative correction rate was 53% for scoliosis. There were 14 patients with normal kyphosis before surgery, and 28 patients with normal kyphosis at the last follow-up. 88% of the patients (23/26) with preoperative coronal imbalance (TS > 20 mm) restored coronal balance at the final follow-up. 87% of the patients (14/16) with preoperative sagittal imbalance (SVA > 40 mm) restored sagittal balance at the final follow-up. The mean operation time and blood loss were 286 min and 941 mL, respectively. No patients had neurological complications or implant failure. Conclusion The surgical strategy of apical region correction and global balance with 3 rods is a safe and effective alternative for the surgical treatment of severe and rigid scoliosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment of extremely severe and rigid spinal deformities was a great surgical challenge. Pulmonary impairment often occurred, which increased the challenges to already daunting surgical approaches. The present study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of posterior-only surgical correction with heavy halo-femoral traction (HFT) for the treatment of extremely severe and rigid adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) of more than 130°. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2010 to 2017, 11 patients suffered from extremely severe and rigid AIS of more than 130° underwent posterior-only surgical correction with HFT. The preoperative mean coronal Cobb angle of major curve was 139.01° ± 5.83°, and the mean flexibility was 17.21% ± 3.33%; the mean angle of thoracic kyphosis (TK) and lumbar lordosis (LL) were 65.02° ± 7.21° and 39.05° ± 4.08°, respectively; the mean trunk shift (TS) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) were 3.3 ± 0.97 cm and 3.97 ± 1.16 cm, respectively; moreover, the percent forced vital capacity (FVC%) and percent forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1%) were 50.08% ± 6.07% and 53.46% ± 5.96%, respectively; the mean body height and weight were 140.09 ± 4.95 cm and 37 ± 4.34 kg, respectively. RESULTS The mean duration of surgery was 335.91 ± 48.31 min and blood loss was 1590 ± 520.1 ml. The average period of follow-up was 32.18 ± 8.17 months. After heavy HFT, the mean coronal Cobb angle of major curve was reduced to 82.98° ± 6.91° with correction rate of 40.39%. After posterior-only surgical correction, the mean coronal Cobb angle was further reduced to 51.17° ± 5.4° with correction rate of 63.27%. The postoperative mean TK, LL, TS and SVA were improved to 23.85° ± 5.14°, 44.95° ± 2.26°, 1.32 ± 0.72 cm and 1.42 ± 0.83 cm, respectively. At the final follow-up, the corrective loss rate of Cobb angle was only 0.72%; moreover, the mean FVC% and FEV1% were increased to 65.45% ± 5.29% and 69.08% ± 5.32% with improvement of 15.36% and 15.62%, respectively; the mean body height and weight were increased to 154.45 ± 5.32 cm and 45 ± 4.02 kg with improvement of 14.36 cm and 8 kg, respectively. The spinal cord function was stable, and there were no new neurological symptoms after correction. CONCLUSIONS Posterior-only surgical correction with heavy HFT could be safe and effective for the treatment of extremely severe and rigid AIS of more than 130° in reducing the incidence of complications and greatly improving curve correction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper was to compare the radiographic and clinical outcomes between the sequential correction (SC) technique and the traditional 2-rod correction (TC) technique in patients with severe thoracic idiopathic scoliosis (STIS) undergoing posterior-only correction surgery. METHODS Records of a consecutive series of STIS patients undergoing posterior-only correction surgery between October 2013 and October 2017 with more than 2 years of follow-up were reviewed. The radiographic parameters were assessed preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. Radiographic parameters, operative time, blood loss, and complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS A total of 33 patients were included in the SC group, and 21 patients were included in the TC group. There was no significant difference in age, sex, or deformity magnitude (93.6° ± 7.8° vs 89.8° ± 6.6°, p = 0.070) preoperatively between groups. The operation time was shorter in the SC group than in the TC group (251.5 ± 42.8 minutes vs 275.4 ± 39.8 minutes, p = 0.020), while both blood loss (1284.6 ± 483.3 vs 1398.0 ± 558.4 ml, p = 0.432) and number of fused levels (13.1 ± 2.8 vs 13.6 ± 2.4, p = 0.503) were similar between the groups. Compared with the TC group, patients in the SC group had a higher correction rate (55.8% ± 9.2% vs 45.7% ± 8.8%, p < 0.001), less coronal (1.1° ± 0.81° vs 2.9° ± 0.93°, p < 0.001) and sagittal (1.5° ± 0.96° vs 2.1° ± 0.64°, p = 0.015) correction loss at the 2-year follow-up, and a lower incidence of intraoperative pedicle screw pullout (14.3% vs 23.8%, p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS The SC technique could significantly and practically reduce the difficulty of rod installation with better deformity correction outcomes than the traditional TC technique. The SC technique was an effective alternative for patients with STIS.

Abstract
Objective To compare the changes of scoliosis and kyphosis angles after Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy versus simple posterior spinal osteotomy for severe rigid spinal deformity. Methods A clinical data of 28 patients with severe rigid spinal deformity between January 2015 and November 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. Sixteen patients were treated by Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy (group A) and 12 patients were treated with posterior spinal osteotomy only (group B). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in gender, age, body mass index, and preoperative pulmonary function, coronal and sagittal Cobb angles, and flexibility. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were recorded. The coronal and sagittal Cobb angles were measured on X-ray films before operation (before traction in group A), at 10 days after operation, at last follow-up in the two groups and after traction in group A. The improvement rate of deformity after traction in group A, the correction rate of deformity after operation, and the loss rate of correction at last follow-up were calculated. Results All patients were followed up 24-30 months (mean, 26.5 months). The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were significantly less in group A than in group B ( t=7.629, P=0.000; t=8.773, P=0.000). In group A, 1 patient occurred transient numbness of both legs during continuous traction and 2 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours. In group B, 7 patients needed ventilator support for more than 12 hours, including 1 patient with deep incision infection. The incidence of complications was 18.75% (3/16) in group A and 58.33% (7/12) in group B, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( χ 2=4.680, P=0.031). The coronal and sagittal improvement rates of deformity after traction in group A were 40.47%±3.60% and 40.70%±4.20%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in the coronal and sagittal Cobb angles at 10 days after operation and at last follow-up, in the correction rate of deformity after operation, and in the loss rate of correction at last follow-up. Conclusion For the severe rigid spinal deformity, Halo-pelvic traction with posterior spinal osteotomy and simple posterior spinal osteotomy can obtain the same orthopedic effect and postoperative deformity correction. However, the Halo-pelvic traction can shorten operation time, reduce blood loss and incidence of perioperative complications.
