Spinal height for growth guidance treatment in early onset idiopathic scoliosis: analysis through final surgical treatment.
Background: The growth guidance (GG) method for treatment of early onset scoliosis has as its primary goal the restoration of apical spinal alignment, facilitating normal spinal growth to achieve a suitable adult thoracic height.
Purpose: To evaluate whether GG surgical treatment achieves comparable thoracic and spinal height to distraction-based treatment (DBT) in idiopathic early onset scoliosis (I-EOS) patients. We hypothesized that GG would prove superior to DBT at the time of definitive fusion surgery.
Methods: All I-EOS patients who underwent GG at a single center were reviewed. T1-L1 and T1-S1 heights were measured using the traditional coronal method as well as the Halifax sagittal spinal length (SSL) technique. The same measurements were obtained from a comparable control group obtained from a multi-center pediatric early onset scoliosis database who underwent treatment with traditional growing rods (TGR) or magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR).
Results: Of the I-EOS patients who underwent GG 2004-2019, 15 patients underwent final fusion after GG completion, with a mean 5.5 years of GG treatment prior to fusion (range 2.0-11.4 years). Mean age at GG implantation was 8.4 years (range 2.0-11.7 years); 7 were male and 8 female. GG patients experienced a mean coronal thoracic height increase of 6.2 cm during treatment through final fusion, and a mean coronal spinal height increase of 8.8 cm. At the time of final fusion, GG patients achieved greater significant mean increases than DBT patients by 2.9 cm in coronal thoracic height (p = 0.0023), 4.5 cm in coronal spinal height (p = 0.001), and 4.0 cm in SSL spinal height (p = 0.01). No GG patient concluded treatment with a thoracic height less than 18 cm in either coronal or sagittal plane.
Conclusions: Not only did 100% of GG patients reach minimum thoracic height of 18 cm at time of final fusion, but GG also proved to be superior to distraction-based constructs in a comparison cohort on 3 of 4 spinal elongation measures.
