Summary
We operated 74 patients with congenital vertebral deformities (56 scoliosis and 18 kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis) by posterior approach with different techniques and instrumented arthrodesis with pedicle screws. Mean follow up was 7 years, mean Kyphosis curve after surgery was reduced to 20° Cobb and mean scoliosis curve was reduced to 11° Cobb. We experienced no major complications. We think that posterior approach procedures obtain excellent deformity correction in both frontal and sagittal plane, optimal stability, low risk of nervous injury.
