ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the impacts of postural changes and low back pain in university students. Methodology: The research is configured as a cross-sectional observational study of the field study type. Fifty university students were recruited, with or without chronic low back pain. Subjects were...
ABSTRACT Objective: Reveal frontal and sagittal patterns of spinal deformity depending on neuromuscular nosology for surgery and outcome planning. The characteristics of spinal deformity vary according to the pathology. In cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, and spinal muscular atrophy, specific featu...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine which method is more effective - cranial halo traction or temporary internal distraction - in staged surgeries for patients with severe (≥ 100°) and stiff (<25% flexibility) scoliosis. Methods: A sample of 12 patients with traction and 7 patients without tract...
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the immediate correction capacity of the Wood-Chêneau-Rigo brace (WCR), produced using digital technological resources and robotic engineering, in primary and secondary curves of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods A retrospective study was conducted of 138 ...
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the intra- and interobserver reproducibility of the classification of proximal humeral ossification in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Methods Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Radiographs (anteroposterior) of 29 patients diagnosed with idiopathic s...
Abstract Vascular compression of the third part of the duodenum by the superior mesenteric artery results in an unusual occlusion of the duodenal transit known as superior mesenteric artery syndrome. This syndrome can occur after surgeries to correct spinal deformities in a rate ranging from 0.5% to 4.7%...
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the preoperative radiographic method for measuring the Cobb angle that is closest to the postoperative result in patients with scoliotic deformity. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of radiographic spinal evaluation (preoperative posteroanterior (PA), bending, tractio...
ABSTRACT Objective: In the last three decades, there have been great advances in the surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. There are few studies that focus on the long-term clinical and radiographic results of AIS operated on with pedicle screws that also consider psychological repercus...

ABSTRACT Objective: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that can cause cardiorespiratory dysfunction, contributing to decreases in tolerance for aerobic exercise (TAE) and in functionality. The objective is to assess the TAE and lung capacity of patients who underwent corrective ...
