What are scoliosis bars?
scoliiosis rods are used by surgeon for repairing the S -shaped curvature or C spine, which could deteriorate as the child or adolescent grows. The rods are attached to the screws implanted on both sides of the vertebra where the curve exists. Part of the spine fused with scolious rods ceases to grow and it is important to consider the age of the child and the severity of the deformity in considering the treatment of scoliosis. Scolious rods can be surgically built from the front of the body or from behind.
The condition normally emerges in the first adolescent years of the child when it is experiencing rapid growth. The spine curves can deteriorate how the child matures and can cause pain and incorrect alignment of the hips and back. The surgeon measures the degree of curvature and the level of pain to determine whether the scoliosis rods will correct the problem. The cause of scoliosis is unknown, but is more common in girls than boys.
In general, the curve is 10 degrees or less less and does not require repair in a child or adult. However, there is no way to predict whether to be 10 ° CFastening backbone curve in the child proceed with rapid growth. Less than 30 degrees are also considered mild in adults unless scoliosis causes considerable pain. Any curvature that exceeds 50 degrees is considered serious and treated with scoliosis surgery to prevent breathing problems and serious pain.
during the rear scoliosis operation, performed from behind, screws or hooks are connected to turnover. The scolious rods are inserted through the holes into the screws to move the crooked part of the spine. Sometimes bone grafts are used to speed up the merger of vertebrae to the desired alignment. Company are usually taken from pelvic or ribs.
Front surgery is preferred for adults and scoliosis that occurs in the middle or lower part of spine. In this procedure, the surgeon cuts in the front of the body to remove the spinal discs, creating a more pliable spine. Bone grafts fill the gaps thateré zůstávají. Scoliosovy tyče jsou spojeny šrouby, které jsou poté utaženy, aby se narovnala páteř. Jak zadní i přední metody jsou považovány za hlavní chirurgický zákrok vyžadující dlouhé období zotavení.
Méně invazivní varianta pro děti a dospívající se skládá ze skoliózy, která musí být každý den nošena minimálně 16 hodin. SCOLIOSIS braces sometimes work to prevent the spine from minimal curvature to proceed to a point that requires surgery. Rádi jsou objemné a nepříjemné a nenabízejí žádnou záruku úspěchu.
