[Selective ventral derotation spondylodesis in idiopathic thoracic scoliosis: a prospective study].
Radiometric curve analysis of instrumented primary and spontaneous secondary curve correction after anterior correction and fusion of idiopathic thoracic scoliosis. ⋯ Selective anterior correction and fusion in idiopathic thoracic scoliosis enables a satisfactory correction of both primary and lumbar secondary curves. The advantage of selective anterior correction and fusion of thoracic scoliosis is the short fusion length, better derotation and satisfactory correction of the secondary lumbar curve. The disadvantages of single threaded rod techniques in terms of lack of primary stability and a kyphogenic effect have been eliminated by the development of a primary stable, small size double rod instrumentation.
