Prospective Comparative Study of Spinal Column Shortening and Traditional Untethering for Recurrent Tethered Cord Syndrome in the Pediatric Age Group
-
- STATUS
- Not Recruiting
Summary
Tethered cord syndrome is a clinical diagnosis with a constellation of signs and symptoms, including back and leg pain, other sensory changes, leg weakness, foot deformity, scoliosis, and bowel and bladder dysfunction. Due to the limitations and technical challenges of traditional untethering, new methods for treating tethered cord syndrome have been proposed to address its shortcomings. Spinal column shortening avoids the problem of intradural manipulation of critical neural elements, CSF leak and retethering.
