Item Does pedicle screw density matter in Lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis?(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS \& WILKINS, 2018-01-01) Sariyilmaz, Kerim; Ozkunt, Okan; Karademir, Gokhan; Gemalmaz, Halil Can; Dikici, Fatih; Domanic, UnsalThe aim of this study is to compare the effects of high versus low implant density on correction in Lenke type 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. A retrospective study of 59 Lenke type 5 AIS patients treated at a single institution were divided into to 2 groups according to implant density. Implant density, preoperative, early postoperative, and last follow-up thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curves were measured. Thirty-one constructs were high and 28 constructs were low density. The groups were similar in terms of age, sex, Cobb angle, and follow-up time. Mean implant density in low density group and high density group was 75.4\% and 96.6\%, respectively. High versus low-density comparison showed that there is no significant difference with regard to curve correction in early postoperative and last follow-up periods. The results show that pedicle screw density being low or high, does not affect curve correction rates in the short and long term in our patients.Item Is pharmacological anticoagulant prophylaxis necessary for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery?(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS \& WILKINS, 2019-01-01) Kochai, Alauddin; Cicekli, Ozgur; Bayam, Levent; Turker, Mehmet; Sariyilmaz, Kerim; Erkorkmaz, UnalWe report the outcomes of mechanical prophylaxis and chemoprophylaxis in patients who underwent elective surgery for idiopathic adolescent scoliosis (AIS). We retrospectively studied the patients who underwent posterior spinal instrumentation for AIS. The patients were divided into three groups: Group A low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) started at 8 hours after surgery
