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

Recruiting
Conditions
Hemivertebra
Interventions
Procedure: Surgical resection
Registration Number
NCT03772119
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Tours
Brief 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).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Immediate effectiveness of surgery: Evolution of Cobb angleFrom baseline to 6 months after surgery

Effectiveness of immediate correction : spinal deformities measured by the Cobb angle on radios face and profile

Late persistence of complicationsFrom 6 months after surgery to 15 years

Persistent complications will be collected through clinical examination at follow-up visits.

Appearances of complicationsFrom baseline to 6 months after surgery

Appearances of complications (neurological, vascular, non consolidation) at 6 months. These complications will be gathered from hospitalization reports.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Long-term effectiveness of surgery: Evolution of Cobb angleFrom 6 months after surgery to 15 years

Maintaining local correction with growth: spinal deformities measured by the Cobb angle on radios face and profile
