Evaluation Studies as Topic↗
[Ultrasound determination of sacral position in the frontal plane].
AIM OF THE STUDY: The position of the sacrum in the frontal plane is important for the statics of the spine. The most common method of investigating the sacrum is its visualisation on an antero-posterior X-ray film. The aim of this study was to find a method of determining the position of the sacrum in the frontal plane by sonography. METHOD: Criteria for the correct image of the upper rim of the sacrum are presented and the procedure for measuring sacral tilt is introduced. The results of the sonographic measurements of 107 patients are compared with the results of X-ray measurements. The intraindividual differences are described and statistically evaluated. RESULTS: Almost 90% of the patients revealed a difference between the sonography and the radiology measurement of less than three millimeters. The overall sensibility was 80%. The specificity was 82%. The results were calculated for different age groups. They turned out to be better in children and adolescents than in adult patients. Obese adults had significantly worse results than patients with normal body weight. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the method presented can help to provide reliable information on the position of the sacrum, especially in children and adolescents. By using sonography we can partly reduce the necessary X-ray exposure, especially in the diagnosis and treatment of leg length discrepancies.

Age Factors↗
[Conservative therapy of spondylolisthesis using body braces].
Twelve patients aged ten to eighteen years suffering from idiopathic scoliosis and a minor spondylolisthesis were treated by Milwaukee- or Bostonbrace during 12 to 38 months. According to Wiltse's results the spondylolysis was expected to heal under brace treatment in a certain number of cases. In fact it only happened twice out of twelve cases. The least chance for success was found when the tips of the interarticular bone parts showed a sclerosis in the x-ray-picture. We may suggest that brace treatment of minor spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis in adolescence is obviously not useful. Long term results are even worse.
