Summary

A retrospective analysis of 12 adolescents undergoing unilateral posterior wedge closing VCR for neglected congenital kyphoscoliosis, assessing surgical outcomes over a mean 2.9-year follow-up.

Detailed description

Design: Single-center case series (Assiut University Hospital, 2015-2020). Intervention: Modified posterior VCR with unilateral convex wedge resection, spinal shortening, and instrumentation. Key Steps: Preoperative CT/MRI for anatomical planning. Posterior-only approach with pedicle screw instrumentation. Wedge resection focused on convex side, preserving concave continuity. Bone grafting (cancellous or mesh cage) post-correction. Follow-up: Radiographic and clinical assessments up to 2 years post-surgery.
