Early diagnosis and surgical stabilization are crucial for preventing neurological damage in congenital dislocated spine (CDS). This study recommends early anterior strut grafting and posterior fusion for treating CDS.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal Surgery
  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Congenital Deformities

Background:

  • Congenital dislocated spine (CDS) is a severe form of congenital kyphosis characterized by spinal canal displacement.
  • Anterior vertebral formation failure is the primary cause, often leading to kyphosis, instability, and neurological deficits like congenital paraplegia.

Observation:

  • A retrospective review of 19 patients with CDS was conducted.
  • Seventeen patients underwent surgical treatment, including anterior strut grafting and posterior fusion, typically before age 3.
  • Four patients received neurosurgical decompression.

Findings:

  • Average follow-up was 8.5 years, with solid fusion achieved in all patients.
  • Five cases of posterior fusion nonunion were successfully treated.

  • Neurosurgical decompression yielded temporary improvement in one patient and no change in three.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical stabilization are vital to prevent neurological morbidity in CDS.
    • The study recommends early anterior strut grafting and posterior fusion for optimal outcomes.
    • Systematic exploration of the posterior fusion mass is advised.
