Patient Cases
Adult Scoliosis Case
55+8-year-old female had a very unusual and severe truncal decompensation brought on by a cyst around her spinal cord in the cervical region. This produced a truncal deformity where she leaned severely to the right and forward thus could not stand upright to any extent.
Adult Scoliosis Case
67+9-year-old female who had an untreated adult thoracolumbar idiopathic scoliosis progressive to 90°. She also had poor sagittal posture as well. She was treated with a posterior reconstruction with a midlumbar PSO, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIF)...
Pediatric Scoliosis Case
12+6-year-old female presented with a severe 159-degree idiopathic thoracic scoliosis (Lenke 4AN). Her spine was nearly touching her ribcage. She underwent preliminary halo-gravity traction following a two stage posterior-based VCR for correction of her severe deformity...
Revision Surgery Case
58+2-year-old female had classic flatback syndrome from previous Harrington rod instrumentation and fusion for idiopathic scoliosis. At nearly 20 years postoperative, she had progression of her unfused lumbar spine below the rod, spinal stenosis, and both coronal and especially sagittal spinal imbalance...
Pediatric Scoliosis Case
12+1-year-old female from with a 90-degree thoracic scoliosis with a double thoracic curve pattern (Lenke 2A+). She underwent posterior surgery from T2-L3 with very nice correction of both her radiographic and clinical deformity 5 years following surgery.
Pediatric Kyphosis Case
17+7-year-old male with Scheuermann’s kyphosis who underwent treatment elsewhere. He unfortunately developed a spine infection requiring all of his instrumentation to be removed. He presented to us with progressive kyphosis of 115° and pain.
