Cobb

**where it goes off midline and where it come back

Q

Scoliosis dx ?

A
  • clinically – Adam’s forward bend tes
  • confirm with x-ray

MRI or CT – if need spinal canal evaluation

**look to see if the heights of the ribs are the same or not and tells you if you should get an xray or not and they are usually asxs.

xray to monitor it every 6 mo to see if it is progressing

CT or MRI if very sxs. **q

Q

Scoliosis newer devices ?

A

Expandable subcutaneous rods

Vertebral stapling

Allow for growth until skeletal maturity

Permanent fixation often still ultimately required

instead of rigid nodes they not have exbndible ones that grow with the patient or verebral stapes ?

Q

Spinal Stenosis patho ?

A

Some narrowing of spinal canal with age is physiologic and asymptomatic - degenerative

starting to get bony growths and it taking up space where the cords need to go and everything distal to that is affected

Q

Spinal Stenosis slow onset of ?

A
  1. Diffuse episodic pain, bilateral paresthesias,
    ↓strength, “pseudoclaudication”
  2. Pain with position changes – worse with lumbar
    extension and better with lumbar flexion
    “ Opposite of herniated disc” ( better with flexion)

Q

Spinal Stenosis own notes ?

A

they can develop posture changes to reduce pain

Neg SLR

L2-L4 is where the canal is the narrowest

herniated disc versus spinal stenosis

narrowing of the tube of the spinal cord

slow onset cause it is bone growth taking over the space and it is diffuse pain cause many nerve roots involved and it is often bilateral

pseudo claudication worse and worse as they more or are stimulated

Q

Spinal stenosis tx ?

A

ASA, NSAID’s – but NOT narcotics as long term use needed and we dont want them to develop dependance

Epidural steroids – 50% success

Surg – decompressive laminectomy - definitive long term tx. - it increase volume ( removing posterior laminates to increase space ))

not a guarantee cause there can be permanent damage
