Popis: This study investigated whether the rib cage parameters estimated based on reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) images with biplanar stereoradiography reflect pulmonary functional states in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. A total of 67 Lenke type 1 or 2 AIS patients (59 females and 8 males, mean age 14.4 years) were enrolled. All patients underwent preoperative pulmonary functional tests (PFT) and biplanar stereoradiography. Vital capacity (VC) and forced vital capacity (FVC) pulmonary functional data were collected. Rib-cage parameters (maximum thickness, maximum width, thoracic index (TI), rib hump (RH), rib-cage volume (RCV), spinal penetration index (SPI), endothoracic hump ratio (EHR), vertebra-sternum angle (VSA), rib vertebral angle difference (RVAD), and vertebral lateral decentering (VLD)) were quantified from 3D images. Patients were divided into two groups: restrictive lung disorder (RLD) (%FVC 80%) and non-RLD (%FVC ≥ 80%). The maximum width and RCV were significantly correlated with VC (p 0.0001), and FVC (p 0.0001). RH, EHR, and VSA were negatively correlated with %FVC (p 0.01). TI, SPI, and RVAD were not correlated with any pulmonary parameters. The maximum widths of RLD patients were significantly shorter than those of the non-RLD patients (218.3 mm vs. 229.7 mm, p 0.01). The RCV of RLD patients was significantly smaller than that of the non-RLD patients (3.94 L vs. 4.49 L, p 0.0001). The maximum width and RCV measured by 3D images with biplanar stereoradiography reflected pulmonary functional variables in patients with AIS.
