Abstract
PURPOSE The insertion of ilio-sacral (IS) screws for distal anchoring in the instrumentation of pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis (NS) presents a significant challenge, often leading to elevated rates of complications. Utilizing computed tomography (CT) navigation and preoperative planning technology is proposed as a potential solution to mitigate these challenges. This study aims to assess the precision of IS screw placement through CT-graphic measurements, both with and without preoperative planning, followed by navigated IS screw insertion, in pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis. METHODS Thirty-two treated patients were grouped based on surgical procedure: planned (P): 19 patients (n = 38 screws) and non-planned (NP): 13 patients (n = 26 screws). All screw placements (P and NP) took place under CT navigation. IS screw trajectories of P-group were drawn preoperatively on CT images with the cranial trajectory planning program and fused with the intraoperative CT images. There are several important anatomical structures that should be avoided when placing the IS screw (L5 root, spinal canal, L5S1 facet, SI joint, neurovascular structures anteriorly to the sacrum, S1 root in the S1 foramen and the intestines). Each trajectory was evaluated based on seven radiographical parameters whom we have enlisted partially based on the essentials of a good trajectory described by Miladi et al. (1: Ilium; 2: SI joint; 3: Promontorium; 4: Sacral plate; 5: Anterior sacral cortex; 6: S1 foramen; 7: Spinal canal). An independent sample T test was executed to compare both groups. RESULTS The trajectories in the P group showed a significantly (P < 0.05) higher overall similarity and optimality (12.1 ± 2.1 vs 9.1 ± 2.2 points) compared to the non-planned trajectory. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative planning and navigated placement of IS screws on fusion images with intraoperative CT, results in a better trajectory of the ilio-sacral screws.

Evidence of spinal stiffening following fusionless bipolar fixation for neuromuscular scoliosis: a shear wave elastography assessment of lumbar annulus fibrosus. 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 2024; 33:1617-1623. [PMID: 37924389 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-023-08013-8] [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: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES There are no established criteria for stiffness after fusionless surgery for neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). As a result, there is no consensus regarding the surgical strategy to propose at long-term follow-up. This study reports the first use of shear wave elastography for assessing the mechanical response of lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs) after fusionless bipolar fixation (FBF) for NMS and compares them with healthy controls. The aim was to acquire evidence from the stiffness of the spine following FBF. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nineteen NMS operated on with FBF (18 ± 2y at last follow-up, 6 ± 1 y after surgery) were included prospectively. Preoperative Cobb was 89 ± 20° and 35 ± 1° at latest follow-up. All patients had reached skeletal maturity. Eighteen healthy patients (20 ± 4 y) were also included. Shear wave speed (SWS) was measured in the annulus fibrosus of L3L4, L4L5 and L5S1 IVDs and compared between the two groups. A measurement reliability was performed. RESULTS In healthy subjects, average SWS (all disc levels pooled) was 7.5 ± 2.6 m/s. In NMS patients, SWS was significantly higher at 9.9 ± 1.4 m/s (p < 0.05). Differences were significant between L3L4 (9.3 ± 1.8 m/s vs. 7.0 ± 2.5 m/s, p = 0.004) and L4L5 (10.3 ± 2.3 m/s vs. 7.1 ± 1.1 m/s, p = 0.0006). No difference was observed for L5S1 (p = 0.2). No correlation was found with age at surgery, Cobb angle correction and age at the SWE measurement. CONCLUSIONS This study shows a significant increase in disc stiffness at the end of growth for NMS patients treated by FBF. These findings are a useful adjunct to CT-scan in assessing stiffness of the spine allowing the avoidance of surgical final fusion at skeletal maturity.

Abstract
Study Design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives Pelvic fixation in degenerative spinal deformation is as crucial as demanding. Several pelvic anchoring technics have been described, but loosening rates remain high for most solutions. Here is described the "Kappa" technic, combining ilio-sacral screws to S2A1 screws at 2 years of follow-up. Methods Thirteen patients that underwent a spinal deformity correction with "Kappa" fixation to the pelvis and with more than 2 years of follow-up were prospectively included in this study. The surgical technic is described, and clinical and radiographic data have been collected for all patients. Results The population exhibited an important pre-operative sagittal imbalance (mean SVA of 104,4 mm, mean PI-LL mismatch of 22,8°) that had improved significatively after surgery (mean SVA of 75,5 mm and mean PI-LL mismatch of 4,9°). No loosening of pull-out of the implants was to deplore at 2 years of follow-up. Conclusions The association of ilio-sacral screw, resistant to pull-out because of the traction axis perpendicular to the construct, to S2A1 screws, known to be effective in sagittal balance restoration seems to be an effective and safe option to pelvic fixation for adult spinal deformity correction.

Abstract
PURPOSE Posterior spinal fusion (PSF) at skeletal maturity is still the gold standard in children with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) who underwent fusionless surgery. The aim of this computed tomography (CT) study was to quantify the spontaneous bone fusion at the end of a lengthening program by minimally invasive fusionless bipolar fixation (MIFBF), that could avoid PSF. METHODS NMS operated on with MIFBF from T1 to the pelvis and at final lengthening program were included. CT was performed at least five years postoperatively. The autofusion was classified as completely or not fused at the facets joint (on both coronal and sagittal plane, right and left side, from T1 to L5), and around the rods (axial plane, right and left side, from T5 to L5). Vertebral body heights were assessed. RESULTS Ten patients were included (10.7y ± 2 at initial surgery). Mean Cobb angle was 82 ± 20 preoperatively and 37 ± 13 at last follow-up. CT were performed on average 6.7y ± 1.7 after initial surgery. Mean preoperative and last follow-up thoracic vertebrae height were respectively 13.5 mm ± 1.7 and 17.4 mm ± 1.7 (p < 0.001). 93% facets joints were fused (out of 320 analyzed joints), corresponding to 15/16 vertebral levels. Ossification around the rods was observed in 6.5±2.4 levels out of 13 in the convex side, and 4.2 ± 2.2 in the concave side (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS This first computed quantitative study showed MIFBF in NMS preserved spinal growth, while it induced 93% of facet joints fusion. This could be is an additional argument when questionning the real need for PSF at skeletal maturity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pelvic fixation in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis is difficult, due to their fragile general condition and poor bone quality. Many techniques have been described, associated with high rates of mechanical complications. The objective of this work was to evaluate the mechanical complications and long-term radiological results of ilio-sacral screw pelvic fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS 167 consecutive patients with neuromuscular scoliosis who underwent minimally invasive bipolar fixation with ilio-sacral screw pelvic fixation were retrospectively reviewed. The instrumentation consisted in a bilateral sliding rods construct extended from T1 to the sacrum, anchored proximally by double-hook claws and distally by ilio-sacral screws through a minimally invasive approach. Mechanical complications and radiographic measurements (angle of the major coronal curve, pelvic obliquity, lumbar lordosis) were evaluated preoperatively, postoperatively, and at the last follow-up. RESULTS Mean operative age was 12 ± 3 years, and follow-up 6.4 years (3.0-10.4 years). Pelvic obliquity decreased from 20° preoperatively to 5° (77% correction) at last follow-up, Angle of the major coronal curve from 75° to 36° (52% correction), and lumbar lordosis from 28° to 38°. 16 mechanical complications in nine patients occurred: screw prominence (n = 1), connector failure (n = 4), screw malposition (n = 11). Unplanned surgery was required in seven cases, two were managed during rod lengthening, seven did not require treatment. CONCLUSION In this series of neuromuscular patients operated by ilio-sacral screws as pelvic fixation, the results were stable with a mean follow-up of more than 6 years and the complication rate was reduced comparatively to the literature.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Prospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To report the results for an alternative technique based on minimally invasive fusion-less surgery. This approach is original in that it corrects deformities by proximal and distal fixation, with reliable pelvic fixation through the use of iliosacral screws on osteoporotic bones. METHODS Adult cerebral palsy patients requiring spinal correction surgery were included prospectively between 2015 and 2019. The technique involved the use of a double-rod construct anchored proximally by four clawed hooks and distally by iliosacral screws, in a minimally invasive approach. Cobb angle and pelvic obliquity were measured before and after initial surgery and at final follow-up. Complications and functional results were reviewed. This group (P) was compared with a second group (R) of patients who underwent surgery between 2005 and 2015, for whom data were collected retrospectively. RESULTS Thirty-one patients were included in group P, and 15 in group R. The two groups were comparable for demographic data and deformity. At most recent follow-up (3 years for group P [2-6] and 5 years for group R [2-16]), neither correction nor surgical complications differed between the two groups. However, group P had 50% less blood loss and a lower medical complication rate than group R. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirm the effectiveness of this minimally invasive technique for neuromuscular scoliosis in adults. The results were similar to those obtained with the usual techniques, but with fewer medical complications. Confirmation of these results is now required for a longer follow-up period.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early-onset scoliosis is a common deformity in neuromuscular disease. When conservative treatment becomes ineffective, several surgical options can be proposed. The most common technique is posterior spinal fusion (PSF) consisting of performing a multiple segmental instrumentation with pedicular screws on the full spine associated with decortication and bone graft. Minimally invasive fusionless surgery (MIFS) is an alternative to correct and fix definitively the spine without graft. The objective of this study was to compare early surgical inpatient period between PSF and MIFS in neuromuscular scoliosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS 140 NMS operated by PSF or MIFS between 2012 and 2017 was retrospectively reviewed. The following data were compared between groups: general characteristics (age, sex, etiology), preoperative preparation (halo traction, noninvasive ventilation or tracheostomy), Cobb angle and pelvic obliquity correction, use of drugs (vasopressor and/or inotropes, expansion fluids, transfusion and volumes), postoperative complications, and need of noninvasive ventilation. RESULTS 75 patients were managed by PSF with a mean age of 14.3 ± 2.3y and 65 by MIFS with a mean age of 11.8 ± 3y. Average pelvic obliquity and major curve correction were similar postoperatively. Intraoperative blood transfusion was significantly more common in PSF group (OR, 14; 95% CI [6.3-33.0]). Vasopressors were used non-significantly more often in the PSF group and expansion fluids similar in the two groups. PSF group had more overall complications (OR, 4.6; 95% CI [2.3-9.8]), more infections (OR, 3.6; 95% CI [1.5-9.3]) and more hemodynamic complications (OR, 4.1; 95% CI [1.4-15.1]). Average intubation duration was 5 days in the PSF and 4 days in MIFS (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION In this series of neuromuscular patients, the complication rate was reduced in MIFS comparatively to PSF, with lower blood transfusion and less infections.

Abstract
Fusionless techniques for the treatment of neuromuscular early-onset scoliosis (EOS) are increasingly used to preserve spinal and thoracic growth and to postpone posterior spinal fusion (PSF). These techniques have greatly improved thanks to magnetically controlled growing rods, which allow the avoidance of repeated surgery. However, the surgery-related complication rate remains high. The objective of the current study was to report the preliminary outcomes of 21 patients with neuromuscular EOS who were treated with a 1-way self-expanding rod (OWSER). This device was designed to avoid repeated surgery and preserve spinal and thoracic growth thanks to its free rod sliding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) scoliosis has evolved in the last decade, with the emergence of fusionless surgical techniques that allow correction of the deformity before the end of growth spurt. These techniques are expected to delay definitive spine fusion and preserve trunk growth. PURPOSE The aim was to evaluate long-term clinical, radiologic, and respiratory outcomes of a minimally invasive fusionless surgery (MIFLS) in SMA scoliosis. METHODS All children affected with SMA scoliosis who underwent MIFLS in our department from 2011 to 2019 were included. The instrumentation consisted in a bilateral sliding rod construct from T1 to the sacrum, anchored proximally by double-hook claws and distally by iliosacral screws. Clinical, genetic, respiratory and radiographic data were retrospectively reviewed. A patient's satisfaction survey was performed. RESULTS A total of 59 children with genetic confirmation of SMA (9SMA1c, 47SMA2, and 3SMA3) underwent MIFLS at a mean age of 11±1.9 years. All of them were nonwalker at the time of surgery. Twenty-six were treated with intrathecal Nusinersen. Mean follow-up was 5.2 years (2 to 9.6 y). Mean major coronal curve improved from 79±15 to 41±16 degrees and pelvic obliquity decreased from 24±11 to 5.9±4 degrees. Mean space available for lung improved from 77% to 93%. Mechanical or infectious complications occurred in 9 patients, with removal of the implant in 1. 6 children required unplanned surgeries. Postoperative bracing was needed in 13 children. Mean gain weight 3 years after the first surgery was 6 kg. 91.5% of patients had a positive satisfaction of the surgery. There was no significant impact in respiratory function postoperatively. Only 30 children required rod lengthening procedures, with a mean interval between procedures of 1.9 years (0.5 to 3.7 y). No arthrodesis was required at last follow-up in any patient. CONCLUSION Bipolar MIFLS in SMA preserves spinal and thoracic growth without interference with respiratory function. It provides a significant correction of spinal deformity and pelvic obliquity, having a reduced rate of complications. The correction of spinal deformity was maintained at long term, not requiring definitive fusion at the end of growth. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.
