Abstract | This study was a retrospective single surgeon case series approved by institutional review board and showed the efficacy of limited Ponte osteotomy at T6/7, 7/8 and 8/9 (limited-PO) in the sagittal plane for patients with Lenke type 1 and 2 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). A total of 37 consecutive patients [7 males and 30 females; average age 16.0 ± 2.5 (range: 12-21)] over a 4-year period with posterior corrective fusion surgery were included. Initially, 18 patients were operated on without limited-PO [P(-)-group]. Midway in the series, the senior author switched to the limited-PO [P(+)-group]. The limited-PO has been performed to form the apex of thoracic kyphosis at the T7 level, together with the restoration of thoracic kyphosis. The mean amount of the correction angle of thoracic kyphosis was more in the P(+)-than in P(-)-group (13.8 ± 9.6° vs. 7.8 ± 8.0°, P = 0.046) at 1-year after surgery. Cervical lordosis was spontaneously corrected more in P(+)-than in P(-)-group. The apex of thoracic kyphosis was controlled around the T7 level postoperatively in most cases (18/19 cases). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood loss and operative time per level, or Scoliosis Research Society-22 domain scores. Limited-PO contributed to the restoration of the whole spinal sagittal alignment for Lenke type 1 and 2 AIS; however, in this preliminary study, the clinical improvement was unclear at least in the short term, because the kyphosis angle obtained by limited-PO was only approximately 6°. |
