We evaluated the effectiveness of the TSRH (Texas Scottish Rite Hospital) spinal instrumentation system in treating patients with spinal deformities and trauma to the spine. 38 patients (29 women) with spinal deformities and 29 (13 women) with trauma to the spine underwent fusion using the TSRH implant system. In patients with idiopathic scoliosis, the amount of curve correction achieved varied depending on the curve pattern, where patients with single thoracic (type III) or single extended thoracic (type IV) curves showed an improvement of 54% and 63%, respectively, compared to patients with King type II curves in which correction averaged only 45%. We found the TSRH spinal system to be effective for correcting the scoliotic curve. The fact that no neurologic complications were observed and that patients demonstrated a rapid ability to stand and walk as compared to the lengthy immobilization required with more traditional methods, suggests that the TSRH system is superior for scoliotic curve correction.
我们评估了TSRH（德克萨斯州苏格兰 rite 医院）脊柱内固定系统在治疗脊柱畸形和脊柱创伤患者中的有效性。38例脊柱畸形患者（29例女性）和29例脊柱创伤患者（13例女性）使用TSRH植入系统进行了融合手术。在特发性脊柱侧凸患者中，实现的曲线矫正量因曲线类型而异，其中单胸弯（III型）或单胸腰弯（IV型）患者的矫正率分别为54%和63%，相比之下，King II型曲线患者的平均矫正率仅为45%。我们发现TSRH脊柱系统在矫正脊柱侧凸曲线方面是有效的。未观察到神经并发症，并且与更传统方法所需的长时间固定相比，患者表现出快速站立和行走的能力，这表明TSRH系统在脊柱侧凸曲线矫正方面更具优势。
