Development of Notch-Free, Pre-Bent Rod Applicable for Posterior Corrective Surgery of Thoracolumbar/Lumbar Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the most common pediatric musculoskeletal disorder, causes a three-dimensional spine deformity. Lenke type 5 AIS is defined as a structural thoracolumbar/lumbar curve with nonstructural thoracic curves. Although a rod curvature will affect clinical outcomes, in...

description Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the most common pediatric musculoskeletal disorder, causes a three-dimensional spine deformity. Lenke type 5 AIS is defined as a structural thoracolumbar/lumbar curve with nonstructural thoracic curves. Although a rod curvature will affect clinical outcomes, intraoperative contouring of the straight rod depends on the surgeon’s knowledge and experience. This study aimed to determine the optimum rod geometries to provide a pre-bent rod system for posterior spinal surgery in patients with Lenke type 5 AIS. These pre-bent rods will be beneficial for achieving proper postoperative outcomes without rod contouring based on surgeon experience. We investigated 20 rod geometries traced in posterior spinal reconstruction in patients with Lenke type 5 AIS. The differences between the center point clouds in each cluster were evaluated using the iterative closest point (ICP) method with modification. Before the evaluation using the ICP method, the point clouds were divided into four clusters based on the rod length using a hierarchical cluster analysis. Because the differences in the values derived from the ICP method were <5 mm for each length-based cluster, four representative rod shapes were generated from the length-based clusters. We identified four optimized rod shapes that will reduce operation time, leading to a decreased patient and surgeon burden.
