| Popis: | Operations in scoliosis in patients suffering from an advanced stage of Duchenne muscular dystrophy are associated with a higher risk due to the extent of the curves, the respiratory insufficiency and frequent cardiomyopathia. Progressive scolioses in 20 wheelchair patients with an age between 10.5-18.3 years (mean 14.6 years) were treated by CDI. The mean preoperative angle in this group was 70.6 degrees, the postoperative angle 31.2 degrees (mean correction 39.4 degrees or 55.8%). The preoperative lordosis of the lumbar spine (mean angle 4.1 degrees) was corrected to 17.8 degrees postoperatively. The average intraoperative blood loss (2300 ccm) was evident more compared with idiopathic scoliosis. One neurologic complication (postoperative disturbance of bladder function) was observed. Nowadays early surgical correction and stabilization (Cobb angle > 20 degrees) has to be recommended as the treatment of choice for scolioses in Duchenne muscular dystrophy using multisegmental instrumentation methods to enable rapid mobilisation and a postoperative care without brace or cast. This conception allows a prophylactic operation including the following targets: prolongation of life expectancy, improvement of sitting position and prevention of rapid deterioration of lung function including assisted mechanical ventilation in late stages. |
