BACKGROUND: Direct vertebral rotation (DVR) effectiveness in improving scoliosis correction outcomes remains unclear and requires further investigation.
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of short and extended fusion techniques using en-bloc DVR in correcting adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) classified as Lenke 5 curve (5C).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 90 randomly selected AIS patients with Lenke 5C who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation surgery using en-bloc DVR between 2014 and 2021. Patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) extended fusion, Group A (n = 40): upper instrumented vertebra = upper-end vertebra +1 or +2 or (2) short fusion, Group B (n = 50): upper instrumented vertebra = upper-end vertebra. Radiographic parameters were compared preoperatively and at postoperative follow-ups of 6 months, 3 years, and more.
RESULTS: The mean follow-up duration was 37.5 ± 6 months for Group A and 40.0 ± 8 months for Group B (P = 0.596). The coronal balance correction rate was comparable between the 2 groups, with no significant differences observed at the final follow-up. Significant differences were noted in the fused segment, with Group A having an average fusion rate of 6.8 ± 0 compared with 6.3 ± 0 in Group B (P = 0.001). TK and lumbar lordosis measurements at the final follow-up did not show significant differences between the groups. However, substantial differences were observed in rib hump correction, with Group A demonstrating a better correction rate than Group B at both 6 months and the last follow-up (P = 0.001 for both time points).
CONCLUSION: Selective DVR spinal instrumentation effectively corrects AIS Lenke 5C. However, extended fusion demonstrates more efficient correction and greater improvement in the patient's cosmetic appearance, including better thoracic curve correction, rib hump correction, and shoulder balance, compared with short-level fusion.
