Assessment and Follow-up of Surgical Treatment of Hemivertebra in Children

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Surgical resection: Surgical resection of hemivertebra

Study summary

The treatment of child's vertebral malformations has evolved a lot including the realization of surgical vertebral resections. The surgical techniques used are multiple, require heavy surgery, one or more approaches and surgical time, transfusions, a neurological risk (up to 20% in some series, risk of non-consolidation, insufficient correction). These surgical techniques deserve an evaluation of the early complications and the skeletal maturity of these children (maintenance of the surgical correction, evolution of the associated curvatures).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Immediate effectiveness of surgery: Evolution of Cobb angle — From baseline to 6 months after surgery
  Effectiveness of immediate correction : spinal deformities measured by the Cobb angle on radios face and profile
• Appearances of complications — From baseline to 6 months after surgery
  Appearances of complications (neurological, vascular, non consolidation) at 6 months. These complications will be gathered from hospitalization reports.
• Late persistence of complications — From 6 months after surgery to 15 years
  Persistent complications will be collected through clinical examination at follow-up visits.
