Q

A

painful scoli, left curves, onset before 11 (Juvenile), associated syndromes or neural deficits, congenital abnormalities

91
Q

2 indications for anterior + PSF in scoli

A

very large curves (75*+) that may need anterior releases to improve flexibility, and very young pts that still have spinal growth remaining (crankshaft)

92
Q

stable vertebra

A

most proximal vertebra that is most closely bisected by the center sacral line

93
Q

end vertebra

A

the most tilted vertebra

94
Q

neutral vertebra

A

has no rotation in the axial plane

95
Q

structural curve

A

either the largest curve or one that does not bend to less than 25*

96
Q

acute infection following PSF for scoli

A

D/I, abx suppression, hardware retention until fusion. Typically Staph aureus

97
Q

delayed infection following PSF for scoli

A

Typically P acnes or Staph epi. Hardware removal, check for pseudoarthrosis, abx.

98
Q

treatment for pseudoarthrosis in spine fusion (maybe just scoli)

A

compression instrumentation and bone grafting

99
Q

differences between infantile and adolescent idiopathic scolis

A

Infantile is more common in boys. More commonly has a left curve. Associated more with congenital defects. And most curves resolve spontaneously, although there are exceptions (RVAD scale…)

100
Q

these radiographic parameters are indicative of high risk for progression of infantile scoli

A

if there is overlap of the medial rib relative to the apical vertebra, or Rib Vertebral Angle greater than 20*

101
Q

indication for casting scoliosis

A

Mehta casting can be done for young pts with flexible curves

102
Q

this type of scoli routinely has progression of their curves

A

juvenile idiopathic scoli has high rate of curve progression, ages 3-10

103
Q

why are MRI’s routinely ordered in JIScoli

A

there is 25% rate of spinal cord abnormalities in JIS

104
Q

who commonly gets a cardiac workup for scoli surgery

A

Pts with duchennes muscular dystrophy get cardiomyopathy, and commonly have scoli due to loss of muscle support

105
Q

nutritional lab markers for successful scoli surgery

A

leukocyte counts above 1500, albumin > 3.5

106
Q

two additional concerns in congenital scoliosis, after MRI

A

renal ultrasound, (25% GU defect rate) and cardiac workup (echo? 10% cardiac anomalies)

107
Q

two main types of congenital scoli

A

failure of segmentation (bar) or failure of formation (hemivertebra)

108
Q

worst prognosis in congenital scoli

A

unilateral bar with contralateral fully segmented hemivertebra

109
Q

this type of hemivertebra has higher risk of progression

A

if a hemivertebra is fully segmented, rather than unsegmented, its risk for progression is higher

110
Q

when resection is indicated in congenital scoli

A

if a hemivertebrae is fully segmented, it has high risk of progression and can be resected

111
Q

sole (?) indication for fusion anteriorly only, in pediatric scoli

A

as part of surgical mgmt of fully segmented hemivertebral congenital scoli that has begun progressing. Combined with hemivert excision.

112
Q

this type of congenital kyphosis is most common

A

failure of formation

113
Q

this type of congenital kyphosis has the worst prognosis

A

type I, or failure of formation

114
Q

this type of congenital kyphosis has the highest risk for neuro complications

A

type I, or failure of formation

115
Q

indications for PSF in congenital kyphosis

A

Favored in kids

116
Q

indications for PSF plus anterior procedure in congenital kyphosis

A

Older than 5, or with curves > 50*. If there are neuro deficits: vertebrectomy/decompression PLUS ASF then PSF.

117
Q

most common site of skeletal involvement in neurofibromatosis

A

spinal involvement common in NF

118
Q

two types of NF related scoli

A

nondystrophic (which is treated like AIS) and dystrophic (tight sharp curves, vertebral scalloping, rib penciling)

119
Q

why is rib penciling important in NF dystrophic scoli

A

Penciling of 3 or more ribs prognostic of rapid deformity

120
Q

thresholds for surgical treatment of dystrophic NF scoli

A

surgery for curve progression, and when above 40*. Also kyphosis.

121
Q

diastematomyelia

A

tissue bar that causes cleft in the spinal cord

122
Q

treatment of diastematomyelia

A

unless spinal deformity present (has to be resected first) or a neuro deficit it can be observed

123
Q

earliest radiographic finding of discitis

A

loss of the normal lumbar lordosis

124
Q

indication for repair of a pars defect

A

pars defects at L4 and above

125
Q

this spondylolisthesis has the highest risk for progression

A

dysplastic type of spondy has highest risk of progression

126
Q

spondy slip of less than 50% treated with

A

after failure of non-op (bracing, PT, activity mod), arthrodesis +/- instrumentation

127
Q

spondy slip of more than 50% treated with

A

usually surgery as there is pain and risk of progression; L4-S1 fusion. Decompression performed if there is high-grade slip or neurologic symptoms

128
Q

additional imaging study besides AP and Lat lumbar spine films when pediatric pars defect suspected

A

SPECT scanning done for equivocal cases of peds spondy

129
Q

definition of kyphosis

A

45* curve, 3 sequential vertebra with >5* of wedge

130
Q

frequency of MRI in Scheuermann’s kyphosis

A

neurologic changes are rare, so are MRI’s. But if present get MRI.

131
Q
