Aims: Severe and rigid scoliosis is difficult to treat. It requires extensive surgical intervention, which cause many clinical and neurological complications. Single-stage operation in rigid scoliosis will decrease morbidity in patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiological, clinical, and functional outcome patients with severe and rigid scoliosis treated with a single-stage operation.
Methods: This was a descriptive analytical study was conducted in patients with scoliosis treated operatively with posterior stabilization (cantilever bending technique) that came to Orthopaedic and Traumatology department of Sardjito Hospital from January 2015 – December 2016. Data measured were radiologic parameter (Cobb Angel), enhancement body height and the functional outcome were measured by radiologic parameter (Cobb Angel) and non-radiologic parameter as Barthel Index, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
Results: There were 7 eligible subjects aged 13–18 years old, 6 were females. We performed single-staged operation in the operating theatre setting 37–52o reduction Cobb angle and 5–13 cm body height enhancement were achieved. There were statistically significant differences functional outcome pre-operative and post-operative treatment (P<0.001). One of the patient suffer from pulmonary problem requiring pulmonary support in the ICU. Conclusion: This study showed that single-stage operation with Cantilever technique was beneficial, important, complex and need team approach for the treatment of in severe and rigid scoliosis. The patient had better functional outcome post operatively based on radiologic and non-radiologic parameter.
Keywords: Cantilever technique, Functional outcome, Severe scoliosis
