Aims

With resumption of elective spine surgery services in the UK following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a multicentre British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS) collaborative study to examine the complications and deaths due to COVID-19 at the recovery phase of the pandemic. The aim was to analyze the safety of elective spinal surgery during the pandemic.

Methods

A prospective observational study was conducted from eight spinal centres for the first month of operating following restoration of elective spine surgery in each individual unit. Primary outcome measure was the 30-day postoperative COVID-19 infection rate. Secondary outcomes analyzed were the 30-day mortality rate, surgical adverse events, medical complications, and length of inpatient stay.

Introduction

Traditionally correction of idiopathic paediatric scoliosis is done by hybrid fixation. This involves a judicious combination of mono-axial and poly-axial screw constructs. This has inherent perceived advantages with better deformity correction and maintaining alignment without loss of correction over time.

Study design

Single centre retrospective review of prospective collected data on the radiological analysis of idiopathic paediatric scoliosis corrections. The study compared hybrid screw constructs (poly-axial & mono-axial) to all poly-axial screw constructs over 28 months.
