Incidence of the Crankshaft Phenomenon in Thoracic Congenital Early-Onset Scoliosis Patients Followed Until Skeletal Maturity
The incidence of the crankshaft phenomenon may have been underestimated before this point, and skeletal maturity could determine the real incidence of the crankshaft phenomenon. The incidence could be as high as 32.10% in thoracic CEOS populations. A younger age (≤5 years old) and short segmental fusion (<5 segments) can help predict the crankshaft phenomenon in thoracic CEOS patients.
