Study Design. The authors conducted a retrospective study involving description of a new surgical technique. Objectives. The objective of this study was to describe and evaluate the efficacy of a new technique to stabilize the spine of young and small patients with congenital scoliosis after lumbosacral hemivertebra excision. Summary of Background Data. Congenital scoliosis develops as the result of anomalous vertebral development and asymmetric growth. The vertebral anomalies include…

Hemivertebra excision with short-segment spinal fusion through combined anterior and posterior approaches for congenital spinal deformities in children
TLDR
If the operation was performed before the maturity of bone, the secondary spinal deformities could be effectively avoided and Cranial and caudal compensatory curves were improved gradually during follow-up.
Congenital kypho-scoliosis: a case of thoracic insufficiency syndrome and the limitations of treatment
TLDR
This Grand Round presents the case of a 7-year-old girl with a severe scoliosis and thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS), and highlights the features of congenital kyphoscoliosis and TIS.
Dorsal midline hemivertebra at the lumbosacral junction: report of 2 cases.
TLDR
Both patients showed improvement in the ability to sit and lie flat and in bowel and bladder function after surgery, and the authors describe their experience with 2 patients with similar, rare congenital bony deformities at the lumbosacral junction.
Congenital scoliosis – Quo vadis?
TLDR
In the last decade, the use of growing rods and vertebral expandable prosthetic titanium rib has improved the armamentarium of the spinal surgeon in dealing with certain difficult congenital spinal deformities.
Pelvic fixation for neuromuscular scoliosis deformity correction
TLDR
The contemporary surgical techniques of pelvic fixation used to extend a spine fusion to the sacrum and pelvis focusing on the management of neuromuscular scoliosis are reviewed, including their biomechanical rationale, results, and complications.
Hemivertebrectomy in Early-Onset Scoliosis
TLDR
Hemivertebra resection has become a routinely used technique in selected indication for congenital scoliosis and controversies still exist between those who prefer convex epiphysiodesis rather than hemivertebrectomy and between the different techniques used to remove the hemiverstebra.
A sacral anomaly from the Quaker Cemetery, Kingston‐upon‐Thames, England
TLDR
A rare defect of the sacrum was observed in the skeleton of an adult female from the Quaker Cemetery in Kingston-upon-Thames, England, and a differential diagnosis resulted in the consideration of hemivertebra and sacral agenesis, both of which are rare developmental defects that originate during foetal growth.

Single-Stage Excision of Hemivertebrae Via the Posterior Approach Alone for Congenital Spine Deformity: Follow-up Period Longer Than Ten Years
TLDR
The described procedure was less invasive because it avoided an anterior approach, yet it yielded satisfactory long-term results for thoracolumbar hemivertebrae.
Excision of hemivertebrae in the management of congenital scoliosis involving the thoracic and thoracolumbar spine.
TLDR
It is shown that resection of thoracic and thoracolumbar hemivertebrae can be performed safely, without undue risk of neurological compromise, in experienced hands.
Hemivertebral Excision for Congenital Scoliosis in Very Young Children
TLDR
Single-anesthetic sequential anterior and posterior hemivertebral excision appears to be a safe and efficacious procedure for the management of congenital scoliosis in very young children.
Simultaneous anterior and posterior hemivertebra excision.
TLDR
This series of 11 patients with congenital scoliosis secondary to hemivertebra describes the resection technique, degree of deformity correction, and complications encountered with this approach to a very difficult clinical problem.
Results of Lumbar Hemivertebral Excision for Congenital Scoliosis
The purposes of this study were to determine the longterm correction achieved by excision of lumbar hemivertebrae and the risk attendant. Seven patients had a followup of 41.14 months for lumbar…
Two-stage corrective surgery for congenital deformities of the spine.
TLDR
Posterior spinal fusion alone in the rapidly progressing congenital deformity may not prevent further progression, particularly in those cases iwth unilateral bars, soterior resection of the vertebral body with later posterior fusion with Harrington instrumentation is safe and effective.
One-stage anterior and posterior hemivertebral resection and arthrodesis for congenital scoliosis.
TLDR
Seven children who had congenital scoliosis due to a single, fully segmented lumbar hemivertebra were treated with single-stage anterior and posterior vertebral resection and arthrodesis, and, in the limited period of follow-up, the congenitalScoliosis did not progress.

TLDR
The patient with congenital scoliosis requires a long term commitment to care with frequent orthopaedic follow-up throughout the growing years along with routine pulmonary function assessment once the patient is able to cooperate with testing.
Lumbosacral Hemivertebrae: A Review of Twenty-Four Patients, With Excision in Eight
TLDR
Twenty-four cases of lumbosacral hemivertebrae are reviewed and clinical and radiographic spine decompensation was found to be an important parameter in following these patients.
Excision of hemivertebrae in children with congenital scoliosis.
TLDR
This study reports the authors' experience with excision of hemivertebrae in the treatment of congenital scoliosis and the first patients treated have already passed the age of puberty.
