💡 AI Summary & Key Takeaways
– Kyphoscoliosis combines coronal deviation (scoliosis) and sagittal deformity (kyphosis).
– Complex 3D realignment necessitates advanced column resections (PSO/VCR) under dual neuromonitoring.
– Restores trunk height, balance, and cardiopulmonary function.
– Complex 3D realignment necessitates advanced column resections (PSO/VCR) under dual neuromonitoring.
– Restores trunk height, balance, and cardiopulmonary function.
The Complexity of Multi-Planar Kyphoscoliosis
Kyphoscoliosis represents a severe clinical challenge involving concurrent coronal curvature and sagittal hyperkyphosis. This dual-plane deformity severely compromises thoracic volume, trunk symmetry, and neurological function.
Surgical Strategies for Rigid Deformities
- Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO) & VCR: Resecting bony wedges to correct severe focal angular deformities.
- Comprehensive Neural Decompression: Protecting spinal cord vascularity during mechanical derotation and realignment.
