Aims

To report the mid-term results of a modified self-growing rod (SGR) technique for the treatment of idiopathic and neuromuscular early-onset scoliosis (EOS).

Methods

We carried out a retrospective analysis of 16 consecutive patients with EOS treated with an SGR construct at a single hospital between September 2008 and December 2014. General demographics and deformity variables (i.e. major Cobb angle, T1 to T12 length, T1 to S1 length, pelvic obliquity, shoulder obliquity, and C7 plumb line) were recorded preoperatively, and postoperatively at yearly follow-up. Complications and revision procedures were also recorded. Only patients with a minimum follow-up of five years after surgery were included.

We present a 26-year-old athlete with severe low back pain associated with a fracture of a lumbar pedicle and contralateral spondylolysis. The difficulties of diagnosis are discussed together with the subject of segmental pain referral. A technique of operative management is described involving instrumentation of the symptomatic level alone.
