Journal ArticleDOI
Complications of thoracic pedicle screws in scoliosis treatment.
TL;DR: The mini-laminotomy technique was beneficial in increasing safety of the procedure with an acceptable incidence of complications, and the thoracic pedicle screw placement in scoliosis patients requires utmost caution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Posterior fusion only for thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis of more than 80°: pedicle screws versus hybrid instrumentation
Mario Di Silvestre,G. Bakaloudis,Francesco Lolli,Francesco Vommaro,Konstantinos Martikos,P. Parisini +5 more
TL;DR: Evaluating the clinical and radiographic outcome of surgical treatment for severe thoracic AIS treated with posterior spinal fusion alone and compare comprehensively the results of posterior fusion with a hybrid construct versus a pedicle screw instrumentation found Posterior-only fusion with pedicle screws enabled a good and stable correction of severe scoliosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late-developing infection following posterior fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
TL;DR: Treatment of late-developing post-operative infection in AIS surgery required complete removal of the implant, continuous drain and adequate antibiotic therapy based on intraoperative swab antibiogram.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic stabilization for degenerative lumbar scoliosis in elderly patients
TL;DR: Dynamic stabilization with pedicle screws in addition to decompressive laminectomy resulted a safe procedure in elderly patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis; it was able to maintain enough stability to prevent progression of scoliotic instability and instability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion in Degenerative Disk Disease and Spondylolisthesis Grade I: Minimally Invasive Versus Open Surgery.
Giovanni Barbanti Brodano,Konstantinos Martikos,Francesco Lolli,Alessandro Gasbarrini,A. Cioni,Stefano Bandiera,Mario Di Silvestre,Stefano Boriani,Tiziana Greggi +8 more
TL;DR: Mini-TLIF is a safe and efficient procedure and, when correctly and carefully performed, can reach good results, similar to those obtained with traditional open surgical techniques, even though it may require a longer surgical time at least during the first stages of the learning curve.
