METHOD FOR EVALUATING SURGICAL SCOLIOTIC VERTEBRAL COLUMN DEFORMITIES TREATMENT RESULTS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out topographic examination and topographic parameters estimation. Segmental kinematical analysis is carried out. The kinematical parameters estimation is carried out allover the whole deformed vertebral column length from a formula: CAA+ AAA +CVA+SGSA+CADS+CADF x10=the number of points, where CAA is the central angle adjustment of basic deformity arc in percents, AAA is the apical angle adjustment of basic deformity arc in percents; CADF is the absolute value of corps axis deviation in frontal plane from vertical axis after operation; CVA is the chest volume asymmetry as difference before and after correction in mm³; SGSA is the shoulder girdle spread angle relative to pelvis as difference before and after correction in degrees; CADS is the absolute value of corps axis deviation in sagittal plane after operation in degrees. Points are assigned to the parameters. Sum of the points being greater than 100, the result is evaluated as excellent; the value being equal to 99 to 50, the result is evaluated as good, 49 to 25, the result is evaluated as satisfactory, less than 25 as unsatisfactory.

EFFECT: high accuracy and objectiveness degree.
