No full textObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes
and the coronal correction rate of the main and accompanying curves of
adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) corrected with pedicle screws
inserted consecutively or intermittently.
Methods The prospectively collected data of 60 patients (8 men and 52
women; mean age: 14.6 +/- 2.5 years) who underwent corrective surgery
for AIS between January 2010 and December 2015 were reviewed
retrospectively. Two groups were constituted according to the pedicle
screw construct type: consecutive pedicle screw construct (CPSC) and
intermittent pedicle screw construct (IPSC) groups. The preoperative,
early postoperative, and 24-month follow-up radiographs and the
Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) scores were reevaluated. The Cobb
angle of the main and accompanying curves, the correction rate, and the
flexibility of the curves were calculated.
Results: The mean preoperative Cobb angles were 57.03 degrees and 57.46
degrees, the mean postoperative Cobb angles were 14.93 degrees and 14.4
degrees, and the mean correction rates were 76.22\% and 75.31\% in IPSC
and CPSC groups, respectively (p>0.05). The preoperative and
postoperative accompanying curve magnitudes and correction rates were
similar (p>0.05). These radiographic outcomes were also consistent with
the SRS-22 scores.
Conclusion: Both the pedicle screw constructs had satisfactory outcomes
following the surgery, which were confirmed by both the SRS-22 scores
and radiographs taken perioperatively and at follow-ups. The IPSC and
CPSC groups did not demonstrate a significant change in the correction
rate of the main and minor or major accompanying structural and
nonstructural curves, and also in the SRS-22 scores

Validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Self-reported Foot and Ankle Score in patients with foot or ankle pain
No full textObjective: The aim of this study was to translate the Self-Reported Foot
and Ankle Score (SEFAS) into Turkish and to determine the validity and
reliability of the translated version in patients with foot or ankle
pain.
Methods: A total of 98 patients (65 females, 33 males, mean age-39
years, age range 18-65 years) who presented with foot or ankle pain for
at least one week were included in the study. SEFAS was translated into
Turkish (SEFAS-T) and then back-translated into English by two bilingual
translators to ensure the accuracy of translation. To determine the
validity of the translated version, SEFAS-T, The Foot and Ankle Outcome
Score (FAOS), and the Short Form 36 (SF-36) were administered at the
first assessment on the same day. SEFAS-T was repeated five days later
(Spearmans rho). Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) were used
for assessment of the test re-test reliability, while the Cronbach's
alpha coefficient was used to assess the internal consistency of the
questionnaire
Results: SEFAS-T showed good test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.887). Item
4 showed poor item total correlation and inter-item correlations. When
item 4 was excluded, the Cronbach's alpha value was found as 0.906.
SEFAS-T total scores showed correlation with all the FAOS sub-scores
(p<0.001) and all the SF-36 components (p <= 0.001) except mental health
(rho: 0.149, p: 0.143). The highest correlation was found between
SEFAS-T Total Score and the Sports and Recreations subscale of FAOS
(rho: 0.796, p<0.001).
Conclusion: SEFAS-T seems to be valid and reliable as a measure for foot
or ankle pain in Turkish patients
