What you will cover in this Module
This Module deals with the paediatric and adolescent deformities of the spine, their etiology, pathomorphology, imaging, clinical presentation and classification. For better understanding, there is a focus on the growing spine at the beginning. Included is a presentation on spinal cord anomalies which play an important role in the context of congenital scoliosis.
Following on from the biomechanics of a deformed spine, there is a focus on treatment modalities, spanning cast treatment, brace treatment and the surgical treatment of the different pathologies. The different techniques and concepts of surgical treatment of paediatric and adolescent scoliosis, including modern navigation technology, are all described and discussed in the context of their appropriate indications. The practical preoperative preparation of the patient in the operating room is appropriately considered.
Learning Objectives
- Understand etiopathogenesis and natural history of paediatric and adolescent deformities of any etiology.
- Be updated on spinal cord anomalies and congenital deformities in paediatric patients.
- Learn about specific imaging and biomechanics of spinal deformities.
- Understand indications and principles of conservative treatment in paediatric spinal deformities.
- Learn principles for surgical treatment and describe the different surgical approaches and strategy to correct paediatric deformities
