1 A Comparison of Patients Treated with Shilla Growing Rods for Early Onset Scoliosis 9 th International Congress on Early Onset Scoliosis November 19-20, 2015 Drs. Wesley Greer, Richard McCarthy, Paula Roberson Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Department of Biostatistics University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Additional Support From UAMS Translational Research Institute Grant

2 What is Shilla? -Growth Guidance System for Early Onset Scoliosis -FDA approved in 2014, approved in Europe since 2012 -Developed by Dr. Richard McCarthy and produced by Medtronics Early Onset Scoliosis- ”Scoliosis with onset less than the age of ten years, regardless of etiology” (Williams BA et al) Growth Guidance- ”Child’s own capacity for vertebral growth is harnessed for an increase in spinal height while directing the spinal alignment into as neutral a plane as possible” (McCarthy RE)

3 Hypothesis Increased surgical experience would lead to improved outcomes, with decreased revisions and implant failures when comparing patients early or late in the series Increased rod diameter would decrease revisions and implant failures

4 Methods Retrospective chart review of first 70 patients undergoing Shilla technique. Minimum 2 year follow up 12 patients excluded Time: Early-4/04 to 4/08: 29 patients Late-5/08 to 12/12: 29 patients Rod size: Small (3.5mm/4.5mm) 18 patients Large (4.5mm or 5.5mm) 40 patients Statistics: Chi-square, T-test, Kaplan Meir curves

9 Large vs. Small Rod Time to Return to OR

10 Large vs. Small rods (Causes of Implant Failure at First Revision) VariableSmall RodsLarge RodsP value of T-test Avg. Time to Screw Pull Out (Months)3.630.29 (NS) Avg. Time to Rod Fracture (Months)14.544.8750.01 (Significant)

11 Conclusion Patients in the late group showed trends of improvement in increasing the time to returning to the OR. Early patients benefited during revisions of placement with larger rods. Patients benefited with reduced returns to the OR by initial placement of larger diameter rods. Larger rods were more resistant to fracture and did not increase pull out of the screws. Screw pull out is an early complication in patients which required earlier returns to the OR than for rod fracture which generally occurred later in the course of treatments.
