Planning and controlling the performance of surgical intervention in treatment of children with idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract

Anterior spondylodesis is combined with transpedicular fixation in children in order to achieve maximally possible and safe correction of the spine scoliotic deformity. The degree of correction depends on the instrumentation selected, the technique and extent of manipulation making, and preoperative planning is used for this purpose. The planning is made by the results of the examination performed, including standard radiography views of the spine and computer tomography.
