Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

This is a prospective study reporting on the efficacy of a modified technique of Concave Rib Osteotomy (CRO) in conjunction with posterior instrumented fusion in the treatment of severe and rigid curves in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The mean post-operative frontal plane correction was 68%. The incidence of pulmonary complications was 11.5%. The modified technique of CRO is a safe alternative to anterior release in treatment of severe and rigid curves.
