Use of All-pedicle-screw Constructs in the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 09/03/09

Cuartas E et al. – All–pedicle–screw constructs are safe and biomechanically advantageous in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Safe and reproducible placement of thoracic pedicle screws is dependent on a thorough understanding of normal and abnormal anatomy, meticulous technique, and the use of neuromonitoring and fluoroscopy. Improvement in the biomechanical properties secondary to the use of pedicle screw fixation has led to shorter fusions with improved deformity correction.
