Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether clinical outcomes change according to radiographical curve improvement or progression in females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: Seventy-six patients with AIS, between 10 and 16 years, were conservatively treated. The Cobb angle on radiograph, angle of trunk rotation with scoliometer, body asymmetry with Posterior Trunk Symmetry Index (POTSI) and cosmetic trunk deformity with the Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale (WRVAS) were retrospectively examined in 76 patients before and after four-month conservative treatment. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of the radiographic success (change in Cobb angle ≥6º) for Scoliosis Research Society as curve improvement (N=38) or curve progression (N=38) group. Results were compared between two groups. Results: It was found that thoracic and lumbar Cobb angles and rotations, body symmetry and cosmetic trunk deformity showed improvement in both groups. There was greater improvement in only Lumbar Cobb angle in the curve improvement group than the curve progression group. Conclusion: This study showed that patients who had radiographical curve progression showed similar improvement in clinical outcomes such as, trunk rotation, body symmetry and cosmetic trunk deformity with patients who had curve improvement with conservative treatment.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı adölesan idiyopatik skolyozlu (AİS) kızlarda, klinik sonuçların, radyografik olarak eğride düzelme veya kötüleşmeye göre değişip değişmediğini araştırmaktı. Yöntem: Yaşları 10 ve 16 arasında değişen 76 AİS'li hasta konservatif olarak tedavi edildi. 76 bireyin dört aylık tedavi öncesi ve sonrasını içeren, radyografik Cobb açısı, skolyometre ile gövde rotasyon açısı, Posterior Gövde Simetri Endeksi (Posterior Trunk Symmetry Index) ile gövde asimetrisi, Walter Reed Görsel Değerlendirme Ölçeği (The Walter Reed Visual Assessment Scale) ile gövde simetrisi verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bireyler, Skolyoz Araştırma Derneği (Scoliosis Research Society) tarafından kararlaştırılan radyografik başarının varlığı ve yokluğuna göre eğride iyileşme (N=38) ve kötüleşme (N=38) olarak adlandırılan iki gruba ayrıldı (Cobb açısı ≥6º). Sonuçlar iki grup arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Her iki grupta da bireylerin torasik ve lumbar Cobb ve rotasyon açılarında, gövde simetrisi ve kozmetik gövde deformitelerinde iyileşme elde edildi. Sadece lumbar Cobb açısında, eğride iyileşme grubunda eğride kötüleşme grubuna göre daha fazla gelişme görüldü. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, radyografik olarak eğri progresyonu olan bireyler ile eğrilerinde iyileşme olan bireylerin, gövde rotasyonu, vücut simetrisi ve kozmetik gövde deformitesi gibi klinik değerlendirme sonuçlarında benzerlik gösterdiğini göstermiştir.
