The goal of this article is to review the available evidence for computerized navigation and robotics as an accuracy improvement tool for spinal deformity surgery, as well as to consider potential complications, impact on clinical outcomes, radiation exposure, and costs.

Although pediatric spinal deformity correction using pedicle screws has a very low rate of complications, the long-term consequences of screw malposition is unknown. CT navigation has been proposed to improve screw accuracy. The aim of this study was to determine whether intraoperative navigation during pedicle screw placement in pediatric scoliosis makes screw placement more accurate. We also examined radiation exposure, operative time blood loss and complications with and without the use of CT navigation in pediatric spinal deformity surgery.

The development of the spine and spinal cord occurs at the earliest weeks of gestation. Their development not only affects each other but also are most likely associated with anomalies in other systems.

Despite an increasing Spanish-speaking population, United States health care remains English dominant. The purpose of this study was to analyze the availability and readability of written patient education materials on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) provided by the top pediatric orthopedic hospitals and the major professional societies.

PROMIS is becoming the most commonly utilized patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) in adult orthopaedics, but its adoption has lagged in pediatrics. Limited baseline data exists in pediatric-specific orthopaedic diagnoses. The objective of this study was to determine baseline PROMIS scores in patients with idiopathic scoliosis and to evaluate for correlations with the SRS-22.

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most frequent spine deformity in adolescence. The cause of AIS remains unknown. Several studies show that AIS can be associated with a perception bias of gravitational vertical.

The Clavien–Dindosink (CDS) classification system provides more treatment-focused granularity than subjective methods of describing surgical complications; however, it has not been validated in posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Pediatric orthopedic surgeons must accurately assess the skeletal stage of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients for selection and timing of optimal treatment. Successful treatment using vertebral growth modulation is highly dependent on skeletal growth remaining. We sought to evaluate the current-state use of the Sanders Skeletal Maturity System (SSMS) in regard to precision and accuracy.

The administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to be beneficial in reducing blood loss during surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), but optimal dosing has yet to be defined. This retrospective study compared high- versus low-dose TXA as part of a Patient Blood Management strategy for reducing blood loss in patients undergoing posterior spine fusion surgery.

Magnetically controlled growing rod (MCGR) for the treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is a relatively innovative technique. MCGR benefits over traditional growing rods are known but limitations and complications are being revealed. The purpose of this study was to examine the importance of tissue depth on rod lengthening.

Limited dorsal myeloschisis, a form of cervical spinal dysraphism, is a rare anomaly and is typically associated with spinal cord tethering. The objective is to illustrate a rare dysraphic anomaly in the cervicothoracic spine causing myelopathy, not due to tethering but secondary to progressive kyphosis. To our knowledge, such an anomaly has not been described in the literature.
