AIM
The aim of the study was to develop new equipment for the assessment of the flexibility of the spine with different forces. This new system should provide a different perspective to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) for the selection of fusion levels and surgical success.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Eighteen patients suffering from AIS who were scheduled to undergo posterior instrumented spinal fusion in our clinic were recruited in this study. The Electronic Traction Table (ETT) that was…

Investigation of the significance of the hanging radiograph for prediction of the curve correction with surgical procedure by comparing with the side-bending and the traction radiographs found it to be useful to estimate the amount of curve correction before surgery.

This was the first report about using precisely controlled bidirectional correction forces for curve flexibility evaluation and correlation and regression analyses confirmed that PTF was a more stable and accurate method to predict flexibility.

Better flexibility in traction radiographs with the patient UGA helped us eliminate the need for anterior release in all 5 patients who had severe and rigid curves more than 65°, which did not bend to less than 40° and were planned to have anterior release.
Traction Versus Supine Side-bending Radiographs in Determining Flexibility: What Factors Influence These Techniques?

In addition to a Cobb angle, patient age, the level of the apex, and the number of involved vertebrae also influence the conditions under which the corrective ability of traction radiographs is superior to that of side-bending radiographs.

Results of this study demonstrate the feasibility to really evaluate the spine flexibility with the suspension test and the estimated flexibility values are realistic and similar to those reported in vitro.

The results of the present preoperative strategy are encouraging and show that the systematic instrumentation of the entire proximal curvature is not justified in Lenke type 2 curves, however, long-term consequences of the residual T1 tilt need to be studied further.
EOS suspension test for the assessment of spinal flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

The EOS suspension test can be used for the assessment of spinal flexibility in AIS and gives a global vision of the deformity with new flexibility indices in the axial and sagittal planes.
Axial suspension test to assess pre-operative spinal flexibility in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
- Medicine, BiologyEuropean Spine Journal

A spinal suspension test has been developed to simultaneously monitor the force applied on the spine and the induced vertebral displacements and seems suitable to provide pre-operative information on the complex functional behavior and stiffness of spinal segments under physiological loading conditions.
Assessment of Scoliosis Correction in Relation to Flexibility Using the Fulcrum Bending Correction Index
- MedicineSpine
- 1998
The fulcrum bending correction index takes into account the curve flexibility and is therefore better than the correction rate for comparing curve correction and use of instrumentation systems between different series of patients.
Traction Versus Supine Side Bending: Which Technique Best Determines Curve Flexibility?
- MedicineSpine
- 1998
A prospective study performed in two institutions where patients scheduled for surgical management of scoliosis were evaluated with traction and supine side bending radiographs to determine curve flexibility found traction shows greater curve flexibility in curves > 60°, whereas in curves < 50°, side bending shows greater flexibility.
