Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated mid-to-long-term outcome of a minimally invasive percutaneous pelvic osteotomy (PPO) approach combined with varus derotational shortening osteotomy (VDRSO) and soft tissue release in children with severe CP. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all patients presenting with a diagnosis of...

Purpose Thoraco-lumbo-sacral orthosis (TLSO) is an effective treatment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients, but cervical sagittal alignment (CSA) variations after bracing have never been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to assess changes in CSA before, during and after TLSO treatment, and to determine whether...

Purpose Hemiplegic cerebral palsy patient may present a shorten leg on the hemiplegic side that afflicts negatively the kinematic of the uninvolved limb. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the modification of gait kinematic after epiphysiodesis for limb equalization and secondary to verify the prediction of correction. Methods...

Purpose The thoracic spine, the chondral and osseous ribs, and the sternum together make up the thoracic cage. These elements are strictly correlated, although their growth is not synchronous. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive data set of thoracic dimensions and non-invasive volumetric assessment in a large cohort of males...
