"Bracing Outcomes and Risk of Curve Progression in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis and Autism Spectrum Disorder" by Amaral et al.

Read online at: https://t.co/v6hBkiCgmp

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were >3× more likely to have curve progression to a surgical threshold and had higher rates of brace-related issues such as non-compliance.

@TylerWillOrtho Couldn’t agree more! Great advice 👌

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

@TheJNS Absolutely. We previously published a retrospective study showing similar results: The degree of compensatory loss of lordosis at the adjacent level L4-L5 correlated with the extent of segmental lordosis creation at the index L5-S1 level.

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

@DrFraneNicholas @orthobullets @JafarniaMD @HMethodistMD @sebcyc @solimanibra92 @TylerWillOrtho @schulte_ss @bonesmith_ @eric_novack @robgraymd @itius @FractureDoc Great points. Yes, the SL joint and even the scaphoid on AP post reduction looked like a possible non-displaced fracture. We got the CT to make sure nothing else was going on and for pre-op planning. Carpal bones normal, and given poly trauma, athlete dominant hand, we fixed both

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

@TylerWillOrtho @orthobullets @JafarniaMD @HMethodistMD @sebcyc @solimanibra92 @schulte_ss @bonesmith_ @eric_novack @robgraymd @itius @FractureDoc @DrFraneNicholas Agree. With the present exam, an MRI really doesn’t change the management and is obviously time consuming and more costly to healthcare system. If equivocal exam certainly a consideration, may also be able to characterize the small bony avulsion better as well

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

@orthotraumamd @orthobullets @JafarniaMD @HMethodistMD consider CT with intra-articular fractures that we are planning operative fixation for. Could see extension into joint easier on post-reduction. There was also a strange look to the scaphoid (likely just position or obscured by plaster) but we wanted a closer look at that too

[Austin Q. Nguyen, MD @AustinNguyenMD]

@TylerWillOrtho @orthobullets @JafarniaMD @HMethodistMD @sebcyc @solimanibra92 @schulte_ss @bonesmith_ @eric_novack @robgraymd @itius @FractureDoc @DrFraneNicholas Are you seeing both suture anchors and bone tunnels in your training? I’ve noticed OITE has favored choosing suture anchor fixation for the reasons you mentioned, but personally I have almost always done 3 bone tunnel osseous repair with krakow sutures
