The titanium-made growth-guidance technique for early-onset scoliosis at minimum 2-year follow-up: A prospective multicenter study

Original language description

BACKGROUND: The management of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) remains a serious challenge in pediatric orthopedics. The growth-guidance system (GGS) is a surgical option that allows continuous growth along a rod, averting the need for repeated operative lengthening. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of the GGS in the treatment of EOS. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study, including 81 patients from 4 departments treated with this method from 2013 to 2015, was conducted with a minimum follow-up period of 24 months. The follow-up data of 57 patients was available, thus the drop-out rate was 29.63%. There were 44 girls with a mean age of 10.03 years and 13 boys with a mean age of 8.04 years. RESULTS: The mean preoperative Cobb angle was 65.3o (range 36o-139o) was corrected to 23.7o (2o-94o), and at the end of the 2-year follow-up increased to 30.7o (8o-93o). The predominant proximal level of instrumentation was T5 and the distal was L1. The combined length of T1-T12 and T12-S1 increased on average by 33.19 mm in 24 months. The overall rate of serious complications was 43.86%. The most prevalent device-related complications were: the dislodgement of top screws because of the short length of the rod (14 cases), the implant failure (11 cases) and loss of correction (9 cases). CONCLUSIONS: The results show that the GGS used in this study allows for a good and stable correction while preserving the ability of the spine to grow in at least a 2-year follow-up. The complication rate is acceptable and comparable with other growth-friendly techniques. To date, this is the largest successful study on the use of titanium-made GGSs.
