Journal ArticleDOI

Frank J. Schwab,Benjamin Blondel,Benjamin Blondel,Shay Bess,Richard A. Hostin,Christopher I. Shaffrey,Justin S. Smith,Oheneba Boachie-Adjei,Douglas C. Burton,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Gregory M. Mundis,Christopher P. Ames,Khaled M. Kebaish,Robert A. Hart,J.-P. Farcy,Virginie Lafage +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated correlations between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores in patients with spinal deformity and found that spinopels can provide a more complete assessment of the sagittal plane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual growing rod technique for the treatment of progressive early-onset scoliosis: a multicenter study.
TL;DR: The dual growing rod technique is safe and effective, provides adequate stability, increases the duration of treatment period, and has an acceptable rate of complication compared with previous reports using the single rod technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of growing-rod treatment for early-onset scoliosis: analysis of one hundred and forty patients
Shay Bess,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,George H. Thompson,Paul D. Sponseller,Suken A. Shah,Hazem El Sebaie,Oheneba Boachie-Adjei,Lawrence I. Karlin,Sarah Canale,Connie Poe-Kochert,David L. Skaggs +10 more
TL;DR: Complications can be reduced by delaying initial implantation of the growing rods if possible, using dual rods, and limiting the number of lengthening procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual growing rod technique followed for three to eleven years until final fusion: the effect of frequency of lengthening.
Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Lee Breakwell,David Marks,Richard E. McCarthy,Alistair G. Thompson,Sarah Canale,Patricia Kostial,Anant Tambe,Marc A. Asher +8 more
TL;DR: Dual growing rod technique was found to be safe and effective in curve correction and maintenance as well as in allowing spinal growth and correction in children with early onset scoliosis, and significantly greater growth and Correction achieved in those lengthened more frequently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of single and dual growing rod techniques followed through definitive surgery: a preliminary study.
George H. Thompson,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,Patricia A. Kostial,Connie Poe-Kochert,Douglas G. Armstrong,Jeffrey S. Roh,Robert Lowe,Marc A. Asher,David S. Marks +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated with single and dual growing rods who had completed their course of treatment, had definitive fusion, and had a minimum of 2 years follow-up.
