IntroductionĪdult scoliosis is defined as a spinal deformity in a skeletally mature patient with a Cobb angle of more than 10 degrees in the coronal plain.
There is no complaint at two months after surgery he has already come back to normal activity with good functional activity. After surgery the main thoracic Cobb angle becomes 83 degrees and lumbar Cobb angle becomes 40 degrees, with 5 days length of stay and less than 800 mL blood loss during surgery. His curve underwent direct contra bending posterior approach using rod and screw corrective manipulation technique to achieve optimal correction. It consists of main thoracic curve of 150 degrees and lumbar curve of 89 degrees.
We reported a case of 25-year-old male adult idiopathic scoliosis with double curve. It also avoids the complications related to the thoracic approach. Posterior-only approach with rod and screw corrective manipulation to add strength of contra bending manipulation has correction achievement similar to that obtained by conventional combined anterior release and posterior approach. 2014 Jan-Feb 29(1):185-93.Adult scoliosis is defined as a spinal deformity in a skeletally mature patient with a Cobb angle of more than 10 degrees in the coronal plain.

The Pro-fix™ Membrane Fixation Kit includes all the instruments needed to begin placing membrane fixation screws (storage tray with dial, driver handle, and driver blades), along with (20) 1.5 mm x 3.0 mm self-drilling membrane fixation screws. All components are labeled, organized, stored, and sterilized together to simplify things for the surgeon and surgical team. Up to 100 fixation screws – including bone fixation, membrane fixation, and tenting – are stored in a built-in screw organizer dial designed and labeled for easy identification, easy storage, and simple re-ordering.
The Pro-fix™ Precision Fixation System is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure easy pick-up of screws, stable transfer to the surgical site, and quick engagement in cortical bone.Īn autoclavable storage tray is cleverly designed to store not only fixation instruments, but also a variety of membrane fixation, bone fixation, and tenting screws needed in dental bone grafting.
