Pre and post 3D modeling of scoliotic patients operated with in situ contouring technique.

):.
A three-dimensional segmental analysis was performed on the stereoradiographic reconstructions of ten right thoracic scoliotic patients. From the quantitative model of the spine and pelvis, the vertebral and intervertebral orientations were computed pre and post operatively. These orientations allow to determine the apical and junctional zones of the high thoracic, thoracic and lumbar curves. The apical zone corresponds to the maximum of vertebral axial rotation. Pre operatively, the tendency was T7 for the thoracic transverse apex with 20 AE of axial rotation. The junctional zone corresponds to the maximum of vertebral lateral rotation and the maximum of intervertebral axial rotation. The tendency was T5 and T12 for the junctional vertebrae of the thoracic curve with, at both levels, 30 AE of vertebral lateral rotation and 10 AE of intervertebral axial rotation. The surgical correction obtained by in situ contouring technique was evaluated through these 3D orientations. The vertebral axial rotation at the high thoracic, thoracic and lumbar apex was corrected with respectively 52%, 60% and 60%.
