We have analyzed the arch root morphology, nail placement accuracy, degree of arch deformity, and three-dimensional Cobb angle in patients with NF scoliosis by CT 3D reconstruction. Likewise, we have thoroughly examined arch root morphology, nail placement accuracy, degree of arch deformity, and three-dimensional Cobb angle in patients with idiopathic scoliosis by CT 3D reconstruction. The results of the two groups were statistically analyzed and compared to assess the efficacy and other morphological differences between these groups. For this purpose, 276 patients with scoliosis, including 221 with idiopathic scoliosis and 16 with neurofibromatosis scoliosis, were treated in the hospital, which is from May 2008 to December 2016. The 16 patients with idiopathic scoliosis were matched with patients with neurofibromatosis, and the postoperative CT data were reconstructed in three dimensions, and the measurements included arch morphology, arch transverse diameter, arch-rib joint transverse diameter, three-dimensional coronal Cobb angle, and correction rate. The data of the two groups were statistically analyzed to compare the arch morphology, nail placement accuracy, and treatment effect between patients with NF and patients with AIS. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the differences between NF and AIS patients in terms of morphology, nail placement accuracy, and treatment outcome. The results showed that there were more severely deformed pedicles in NF patients than in idiopathic scoliosis, and the difference between them was statistically significant. Of the 142 screws placed in the NF group, 88 screws were in a good position, and the remaining 54 screws were misplaced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
