KANG, JS; HERRERO, C e CASTANEDA, P. What is the degree of variability in formal training for pediatric orthopedic surgeons performing scoliosis surgery?. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.6, pp.367-372. Epub 19-Jan-2024. ISSN 2306-4102. https://doi.org/10.35366/111870.
Introduction:
although pediatric orthopedic surgeons worldwide perform scoliosis surgery, the training received is variable and poorly understood. By surveying the European Pediatric Orthopedic Society (EPOS) and the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ortopedia (SLAOTI), we aim to characterize this variability.
Material and methods:
in 2021, we distributed an anonymous online questionnaire to EPOS and SLAOTI.
Results:
43% EPOS and 22% SLAOTI perform scoliosis procedures (p < 0.05). 18% EPOS and 2% SLAOTI performed > 35 procedures annually (p < 0.05). 70% EPOS and 27% SLAOTI received formal training in spinal deformity surgery (p < 0.005).
Conclusions:
results show significant differences in training and performance of scoliosis procedures between societies.
