Archives of orthopaedic and traumatic surgery Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Neuropathic fixed pelvic obliquity remains an important orthopedic problem. The three known methods for operative correction of this deformity are described. The combined VDS and Harrington method is described in this paper, along with its advantages. The combined operation corrects kyphosis, lordosis, and scoliosis and offers immediate stability of the spine with good correction of the fixed pelvic obliquity.

Zusammenfassung

Der neuropathische kontrakte Beckenschiefstand bleibt im Rahmen der Skoliosebehandlung ein großes orthopadisches Problem. Drei der bekanntesten Methoden zur operativen Korrektur der Skoliose mit kontraktem Beckenschiefstand werden dargestellt. Auf die operative Behandlung mit der Kombination von VDS and Harrington wird im Detail eingegangen and die Vorteile dieses Verfahrens werden unterstrichen. Die kombinierte Operation korrigiert gleichzeitig die kypho-lordo-skoliotische Deformitat and den Beckenschiefstand. Damit wird Stabilitat and bessere Korrektur durch vordere und hintere Fusion bei statisch lotgerechter Einstellung neben weitgehender Korrektur des kontrakten Beckenschiefstandes erreicht.
