The Children s Medical Center, Dayton, Ohio Hobart Klaaren Objectives Review Spinal Problems in pediatric patient Adult sequelae of untreated spinal deformity Non-Operative Treatment of Scoliosis Decision for Surgery Risks of Surgery Pre-Operative Planning Surgical Treatment of Scoliosis Advances in Spinal Instrumentation Case Studies 1

7 TREATMENT First attempt to treat scoliosis with bracing Walter Blount The Milwaukee Brace 1948 Options Observation Bracing Surgery Low Profile Brace Diagrams showing how the lateral pad works. The Boston System was developed as a modular system in which 95% of patients could be fit in a series of pre-fab fbmodules dl which could be cut to fit, thus freeing up Orthotists time Low Profile Braces Originally found to be best used when the curve apex was at T-10 or below. Above this level, published results have varied TLSO BRACING 7
8 Charleston Bracing Providence Nighttime BRACING The Providence Brace was designed to treat Idiopathic Scoliosis in growing children with the desired outcome to prevent progression and need for surgery. Recumbant Brace worn only at night Computer Designed (CAD/CAM) Natural History Studies Lonstein & Carlson JBJS 1984 Skeletally immature patients with curves 20-29º, 68% risk progression Nachemson & Peterson JBJS % risk progression with curves between 25-35º Effectiveness of Treatment with a Brace in Girls with AIS: Nachemson & Peterson JBJS June 1995 Prospective Multicenter study over 10 years Success Rate-Brace 74% Success Rate-Observation only 33% Not Randomized Professional Opinion Concerning the Effectiveness of Bracing Relative to Observation in AIS Weinstein et al. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics. April/May 2007 Majority of fbracing Studies Level liv Case Studies Only one level II prospective cohort study 15 Studies have surgery rates after Bracing Treatment Range 5% to 46% High degree of variability in opinion among clinicians concerning effectiveness of bracing Suggest randomized trial of bracing Clinical Equipoise 8
9 Surgical Rates After Observation and Bracing for AIS: An Evidence Based Review Dolan and Weinstein et al. Spine Studies Reviewed Pooled estimates for surgical rates extremely variable No clear advantage of bracing vs. observation Compliance Most studies show if braces are worn, the patients do better Edmonson labeled three groups of Milwaukee Brace wearers: Cooperative 65% Did best Cheaters 20% Not so good Non-Cooperative 15% Worse yet Compliance We all are cynical about how much braces are actually worn. Most studies with any brace 2/3rds compliance Sensors placed in braces reveal less wear than self reported by patients How often do you see kids at the ball game or the mall with their brace on? Accuracy in the Prediction and Estimation of Adherence to Bracewear Before and During Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis os s Birch, et al. Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics. Vol 28:3. April/May Methods 124 patients with AIS fitted with temporary sensor in Boston Brace Brace-Belief Belief questionnaire to measure adherence Patient, Parent, Doctor, Orthotist Results Patients wore brace 47 % of the time Estimations are much higher Conclusions It is difficult to predict adherence before and during treatment 9
