An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting on the development of a useful classification for scoliosis in the adult

A Novel “Smart” Spinal Implant Locking Mechanism Based on Nickel-Titanium Alloy

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting in which a new locking mechanism based on the use of a nickel-titanium alloy is described.

A Pedicle Screw Construct Gives an Enhanced Posterior Correction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis When Compared to Other Constructs – Myth or Reality?

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting that compared correction of AIS by 3 different constructs.

A Prospective Cohort Analysis of Adjacent Vertebral Body Bone Mineral Density in Lumbar Surgery Patients with or without Instrumented Posterolateral Fusion: A 9 to 12 Year Follow-Up

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting demonstrating that BMD significantly increases at the adjacent cephalad vertebral levels in instrumented posterolateral fusion following surgery.

A Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Post-operative Continuous Local Anesthetic Infusion at the Iliac Crest Bone Graft Site after Spinal Arthrodesis

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting designed to determine the effects of post-operative continuous local anesthetic at the ICBG harvest site in reducing pain.

A Radiographic and Patient Based Outcome Analysis of Different Bone Grafting Techniques in the Surgical Treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis: Allograft vs. Autograft/Allograft Combination

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting on patients with idiopathic scoliosis treated with posterior instrumentation and arthrodesis using either allograft or autograft and allograft.

Abnormal Differential Longitudinal Growth of Spinal Cord and Vertebral Column in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Study with Multi-Planar Reformat Magnetic Resonance Imaging

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting designed to measure the ratio of cord length to vertebral column length in healthy adolescent girls and to compare the differences with AIS patients of different curve severity.

Adding-on Fractures following Anterior Column Reconstruction in Treatment of Osteoporotic Post Traumatic Vertebral Collapse at the Thoraco-Lumbar Spine in 151 Patients with the Minimum 4 Year Follow-up

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting designed to investigate the fusion rates and the risk of the adding-on vertebral fractures above or below the anterior reconstruction of the osteoporotic vertebral collapse during the long-term follow-up.

Analysis of Non-Ambulatory Neuromuscular Scoliosis Patients Surgically Treated to the Pelvis with Intraoperative Halo-Femoral Traction

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting comparing patients treated with and without intraoperative halo-femoral traction (H-F TX) to assess correction of neuromuscular (NM) spinal deformity.

Analysis of Pre-existent Vertebral Rotation in the Normal Spine

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting designed to identify a pre-existent rotational pattern in the normal, non-scoliotic spine, predisposing to the typical 3D deformity seen in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting looking at low back pain in children.

Biomechanical Stability of Isthmic Spondylolisthesis Under Compressive Preload With and Without Transpedicular Instrumentation

An abstract from the SRS 2005 Annual Meeting investigated the stabilizing effect of physiologic compressive follower preload with and without transpedicular instrumentation in an in-vitro model of unstable adult onset isthmic spondylolisthesis.
