Resumo |
Surgical treatment of scoliosis is quantitatively assessed in the clinic using radiographic measures of deformity correction, as well as the rib hump, but it is important to understand the extent to which these quantitative measures correlate with self-reported improvements in patients’ quality of life following surgery. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical outcomes of thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis surgery and deformity correction using the Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire (SRS-24). Patients undergoing thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis correction report good SRS scores which are comparable to those reported in previous studies for both open and thoracoscopic scoliosis correction procedures. Major Cobb correction is a significant predictor of patient satisfaction when comparing subgroups of patients with the highest and lowest major curve corrections. |
