Abstrakt: Purpose: Barycentremetry in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) allows the distribution of masses and their loading of the spine to be studied. In particular, the axial torque on the spine has been studied in AIS, but not after surgical correction. Spinal axial torque was studied in AIS before and after surgery.
Methods: All AIS (Lenke 1 and 3) who underwent posterior spinal fusion surgery at our center in 2019 were included retrospectively. AIS underwent frontal and sagittal biplanar radiographs in the free-standing position before surgery, 4 months after surgery, and at the last follow-up. Their spine and external envelope were reconstructed with validated methods. Spinal axial torque at the apex and the upper and lower end vertebra was calculated. Finally, the preoperative and postoperative values were compared to a previously published reference corridor for asymptomatic subjects.
Results: Twenty-nine patients were included (54 ± 11° Cobb angle, 15 ± 2 years old at surgery). The surgical procedure decreased the Cobb angle by 36° ± 11° and decreased the spinal axial torque at the upper end vertebra by 2.5 N/m (95% CI = [1.9; 3]; p < 0.001), at the apex by 0.6 N/m (95% CI = [0.4; 1]; p = 0.004), at the lower end vertebra by 2 N/m (95% CI = [1.5; 2.8]; p < 0.001). Compared to 95th percentile of torque, which was previously evaluated in asymptomatic subjects, more than 90% of patients had higher values at the upper and lower end vertebrae before surgery. Postoperatively, 62% of patients still had higher torque at the upper end vertebra than asymptomatic subjects, while only 38% patients showed abnormal values at the lower junction.
Conclusion: Results of this study confirm that AIS patients show abnormally high spinal axial torque, especially at the end vertebrae, and that this parameter is normalized postoperatively for only a small number of patients.
