“…Significative percentage of the sample showing a ceiling effect in the Pain domain can be explained by the absence of pain in idiopathic scoliosis during adolescence and early adulthood. The high ceiling effect in the Treatment Satisfaction domain may reflect patients' confidence in the recruitment hospital, where most patients in this study are treated 9,32,34 . However, unlike the original version, the Brazilian questionnaire was not administered by the operating orthopedic surgeon, but rather by three physical therapy students who were not involved with patients' treatment.…”

“…Objective measures, although highly useful, are weakly related to patients' actual concerns, which include concerns about their symptoms and the functional, social and psychological aspects of their condition [4][5][6][7] . Hence, subjective measures can be an important complement to a traditional clinical evaluation 7,8 , and as a result, many instruments aimed at assessing such subjective measures have been developed 9 .…”

| Background: The SRS-22r questionnaire is a well-accepted instrument used to measure health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. No validated tool exists in Brazil for idiopathic scoliosis, and the use of the SRS-22r in non-English Laguage contries requires its transcultural adaptation. Objective: The objective of this study was to culturally adapt the translated Brazilian version of the SRS-22r questionnaire and to determine its reliability using statistical tests for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Method: The transcultural adaptation process was carried out according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. The pre-final version was administered to 44 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The mean age of the participants was 18.93 years and the mean curve magnitude was 54.6°. A subgroup of 30 volunteers completed the questionnaire a second time one week later to determine the scale's reproducibility. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the test-retest reliability was determined using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: No floor effects were observed using the Brazilian version of the SRS-22r. Ceiling effects were observed in the Pain and Satisfaction with Management domains. The internal consistency values were very good for 3 domains and good for 2 domains. The ICC values were excellent for all domains. Conclusions: The high values of internal consistency and ICC reproducibility suggest that this version of the questionnaire can be used in Brazilian patients with idiopathic scoliosis.Keywords: quality of life; scoliosis; questionnaires; rehabilitation.

“…The transcultural adaptation of the SRS-22 from English to Greek presented here was based on the method proposed by Beaton et al [17]. Recent publications of translated versions of the original SRS-22 questionnaire in to Spanish, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Polish and French used similar methods to test the validity and reliability [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. We also included an additional pretest of the Greek version to evaluate whether readers without medical professional background would understand the terms which led us to perform minor linguistic adaptations to the primary translation and helped to achieve a final consensus form of the questionnaire [12].…”

Background: The SRS-22 is a valid instrument for the assessment of the health related quality of life of patients with Idiopathic scoliosis. The SRS-22 questionnaire was developed in USA and has been widely used in the English speaking countries. Recently it has been translated and validated in many other languages. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability and validity of the adapted Greek version of the refined Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire.

Sagittal balance of thoracic lordoscoliosis: anterior dual rod instrumentation versus posterior pedicle screw fixation

et al. 2011

Posterior pedicle screw fixation is now the standard treatment for surgical correction of idiopathic scoliosis and has largely replaced anterior techniques, but there have been reports describing a lordogenic effect of segmental pedicle screw instrumentation in the thoracic spine. This clinical study compared anterior dual rod instrumentation with posterior pedicle screw fixation for idiopathic thoracic lordoscoliosis, including 42 patients (7 male, 35 female; average age 16 years, range 12-34) who underwent posterior pedicle screw fixation (n = 20) or anterior dual rod instrumentation (n = 22) at two centers. The average follow-up period was 33 months (24-108 months). Inclusion criteria were a diagnosis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a structural thoracic curve (Lenke 1-3) and thoracic hypokyphosis (T4-T12 \ 20°). The main thoracic curve magnitude and sagittal profile on standing radiographs were evaluated. Thoracic kyphosis was significantly restored from preoperatively 10.2°to 23.4°postoperatively in the anterior group and from 7.6°to 12.9°in the posterior group (P \ 0.005). Kyphosis improved significantly better in the anterior group than in the posterior group (P \ 0.005). The preoperative and postoperative main thoracic curve values were 63°(48-80°) and 25.2°in the anterior group and 60.6°(50-88°) and 23.6°in the posterior group, with no significant differences between the groups. No neurological or other severe complications were observed. Anterior dual rod instrumentation in patients with thoracic lordoscoliosis allows significantly better restoration of thoracic kyphosis than posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.
