Scoliosis Correction Surgery in Bangladesh: 6.0mm Spinal Pedicle Screw System

Case Overview

At Dhaka Central International Medical College & Hospital in Bangladesh,the spine surgical team successfully completed a complex scoliosis correction surgery for a 16-year-old female patient, Raisa (name changed for privacy). The procedure used a 6.0mm Spinal Pedicle Screw Instrument Set combined with compatible spinal implants to restore spinal alignment and stability.

This case highlights how a modern spinal pedicle screw system can help hospitals in Bangladesh achieve reliable deformity correction and long-term spinal balance for adolescent patients.

Case Profile

• Patient name: Raisa (pseudonym)

• Age: 16 years

• Gender: Female

• Diagnosis: Adolescent scoliosis with significant spinal curvature

Raisa presented with visible spinal deformity and cosmetic concerns, along with occasional back discomfort and fatigue after daily activities. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed a structural scoliosis requiring surgical correction.

Preoperative Assessment and Planning

Before surgery, the spine team in Dhaka performed a comprehensive evaluation, including:

• Standing full-spine X-rays to measure Cobb angles

• Assessment of curve flexibility and rotation

• Neurological examination

• Evaluation of growth potential and overall health status

After multidisciplinary discussion, the surgeons concluded that spinal deformity correction using a 6.0mm Spinal Pedicle Screw Instrument Set was the most appropriate treatment plan. This approach was selected to provide:

• Three-dimensional correction of the spinal curvature

• Rigid segmental fixation using pedicle screws and rods

• Improved coronal and sagittal balance

• A stable construct to support long-term fusion and recovery

Preoperative Imaging

Preoperative imaging showed:

• Marked lateral curvature of the thoracolumbar spine

• Vertebral rotation and rib prominence

• Imbalanced shoulders and trunk alignment

These findings confirmed the need for posterior spinal deformity correction and fusion using a pedicle screw–rod construct.

Surgical Summary

During the scoliosis correction surgery, the surgical team used the 6.0mm Spinal Pedicle Screw Instrument Set to place pedicle screws at multiple levels along the deformity. The system enabled:

• Secure insertion of polyaxial pedicle screws into the vertebral pedicles

• Attachment of spinal rods to connect the screws

• Application of corrective maneuvers (derotation, translation, and rod contouring)

• Achievement of controlled, progressive correction of the scoliotic curve

The lead spine surgeon expressed high satisfaction with the 6.0mm Spinal Pedicle Screw Instrument Set and compatible implants provided by our company. The technique allowed for three-dimensional correction of the deformity and rigid stabilization of the instrumented segments.

This pedicle screw–rod construct is commonly used in scoliosis and complex spinal deformity surgeries because it offers:

• Strong segmental fixation

• Precise control over spinal alignment

• Reliable maintenance of corrective forces throughout the spine

Postoperative Imaging

Postoperative imaging demonstrated:

• Significant improvement in spinal alignment

• Reduced curvature and rib prominence

• Balanced shoulders and trunk

Clinically, Raisa showed:

• Stable neurological status

• Satisfactory pain control

• Gradual return to standing and walking with support

• Improved posture and cosmetic appearance

Under close follow-up, the patient continued to recover smoothly, and the early results suggested a favorable long-term prognosis for spinal balance and quality of life.

Implant Specifications Used in This Case

The following implants were utilized during the procedure:

1. 6.0 Polyaxial Pedicle Screw

2. 6.0 Crosslink-I (SW3.5)

   
   

   
   

   

These components worked together with the spinal rods to provide a stable posterior spinal fusion construct suitable for adolescent scoliosis correction.

Instrument Set Overview

The Spinal Pedicle Screw Instrument Set used in Dhaka Central International Medical College & Hospital includes:

• Pedicle screw insertion instruments

• Rod measuring, bending, and insertion tools

• Crosslink and connector instruments

• Bone preparation and reduction tools

Its ergonomic design helps surgeons in Bangladesh and other regions perform complex scoliosis correction more efficiently and safely, reducing operative time and supporting accurate screw placement.

Clinical Significance for Spine Surgery in Bangladesh

This case demonstrates that with the support of a modern 6.0mm spinal pedicle screw system, hospitals in Bangladesh can:

• Offer advanced scoliosis correction surgery to adolescent patients

• Achieve reliable deformity correction and fusion

• Improve cosmetic and functional outcomes for young patients and their families

For hospitals, distributors and spine surgeons looking for spinal pedicle screw systems suitable for scoliosis and other spinal deformity surgeries, this case provides real-world evidence of effective performance.

Conclusion & Contact

The successful scoliosis correction surgery for a 16-year-old girl in Dhaka highlights the importance of:

• Careful preoperative planning

• A reliable spinal pedicle screw and rod system

• Skilled surgical technique and postoperative follow-up
