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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of amicar on perioperative blood loss in idiopathic scoliosis: the results of a prospective, randomized double-blind study.
Ivan Florentino-Pineda,George H. Thompson,Connie Poe-Kochert,Robert P. Huang,Lawrence L. Haber,Laurel C. Blakemore +5 more
TL;DR: The results of this study confirmed that the use of intraoperative Amicar is a safe, effective, and inexpensive method to significantly reduce perioperative blood loss in patients with idiopathic scoliosis undergoing posterior spinal fusion and segmental spinal instrumentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growing rod fractures: risk factors and opportunities for prevention.
Justin S. Yang,Paul D. Sponseller,George H. Thompson,Behrooz A. Akbarnia,John B. Emans,Muharrem Yazici,David L. Skaggs,Suken A. Shah,Pooria Salari,Connie Poe-Kochert +9 more
TL;DR: Risk factors for rod fractures include prior fracture, single rods, stainless steel rods, small diameter rods, proximity to tandem connectors, short tandem connector, and preoperative ambulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for major complications after surgery for neuromuscular scoliosis.
Daniel L. Master,Jochen P. Son-Hing,Connie Poe-Kochert,Douglas G. Armstrong,George H. Thompson +4 more
TL;DR: Nonambulatory status and a preoperative curve magnitude (≥60°) are directly associated with an increased risk for major complications and indirectly associated with increased length of stay and operative intervention in neuromuscular scoliosis before curve progression to ≥60°.
