    Analysis of complications following posterior vertebral column resection for the treatment of severe angular kyphosis greater than 100
    (2017) Balioğlu, Mehmet Bülent; Albayrak, Akif; Atıcı, Yunus; Kargın, Deniz; Mert, Muhammed; Kaygusuz, Mehmet Akif
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the complications, efŞcacy and safety of posteriorvertebral column resection (PVCR) in severe angular kyphosis (SAK) greater than 100.Methods: The medical records of 17 patients (mean age 17.9 (range, 9e27) years) with SAK who underwent PVCR, were reviewed. Mean follow-up period was 32.2 (range, 24e64) months. Diagnosis of thepatients included congenital kyphosis in 11 patients, post-tuberculosis kyphosis in 3 patients andneuroŞbromatosis in 3 patients. The sagittal plane parameters (local kyphosis angle, lumbar lordosis,sagittal vertical axis, pelvic tilt, sacral slope and pelvic incidence) were measured in the preoperative andthe early postoperative periods and during the last follow-up on the lateral radiographs.Results: The mean preoperative localized kyphosis angle was 121.8(range, 101e149). The mean localkyphosis angle (LKA) was 71.5at postoperatively evaluation (p< 0.05). Complications were detected in12 patients (70.6%) with spinal shock in 4 patients, hemothorax in 3 patients, postoperative infection in 2patients, dural laceration in 2 patients, neurological deŞcit in 2 patients (1 paraplegia and 1 root injury),the shifted cage in 2 patients and rod fracture in 2 patients. Neurological events occurred in six patients(35%) with temporary neurological deŞcit in 5 patients and permanent neurological deŞcit in 1 patient.Conclusion: PVCR is an efŞcient and a successful technique for the correction of SAK. However, it can leadto a large number of major complications in SAK greater than 100.Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic study.

    The effect of Kinesio taping on back pain in patients with Lenke Type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: A randomized controlled trial
    (2017) Büyükkuşçu, Mehmet Özbey; Aydin, Canan Gonen; Atıcı, Yunus; Balioğlu, Mehmet Bülent; Atıcı, Ayşegül; Arıkan, Yavuz
    Purpose: This study investigated the short-term effects of KT on back pain (BP) in patients with LenkeType 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Methods: We chosen Lenke Type 1 scoliosis who have had only back pain (the localization of the pain:the only in the apical convex edge). Forty patients suffering from BP with Lenke Type 1 AIS wererandomly separated into two groups, Group 1 (20 patients) and Group 2 (20 patients). Group 1 was givenKT with tension and home exercises and Group 2 was given KT without tension and home exercises. KTand home exercises was applied to the thoracic area of the patients in both groups for four weeks. Painintensity was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS) and SRS-22 (subtotal SRS-20) before and aftertreatment.Results: Mean age of both groups was 16.1 years. Mean Cobb angle of the thoracic scoliosis was 31.8(range: 17e44) in Group 1 and 32.8(range: 19e43) in Group 2 before the treatment. The decrease inVAS score of Group 1 after taping was higher than that of Group 2. The difference between the pre- andpost-treatment VAS scores of both groups was statistically signiŞcant (p < 0.05). The increase in meanSRS-20 score of Group 1 following taping application was signiŞcantly higher than the increase in thecontrol group (p< 0.05).Conclusion: Results demonstrated that KT application with tension effectively leads to back pain reliefshortly after application. In addition, KT has a positive impact on quality of life. Thus, KT may be asuitable intervention in treating back pain of patients with AIS.Level of Evidence: Level 1, Therapeutic study.
