Title : The implications of infantile chest wall surgeries on scoliosis risk

Abstract:

The relationship between infantile sternotomies/thoracotomies and the risk of developing scoliosis later in development is poorly understood and controversial. The professional opinions vary from ‘there is no correlation’ between these diagnostic entities to a strong correlation with prominent treatment considerations. Scarring and adhesions originating from the surgical procedures have been linked to the risk of scoliosis onset. This relationship has been studied by both a structured literature review and retrospective patient population analysis by the investigation team. The profiles, risk considerations, and treatment considerations for the population described by target diagnoses will be presented based on those investigations.
