| Abstract | Background This study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of children with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Methods In total, 72 children (41 male, 31 female) with CMT who underwent endoscopic surgery at the Department of Orthopedics, Xi’an Children’s Hospital, between January 2021 and January 2023 were included. Their mean age was 54 ± 36.1 (range, 12–141) months. Of these, 29 (40.3%) cases involved the left side while 43 (59.7%) involved the right side. Preoperative preparation involved precise body surface markings of the sternocleidomastoid muscle(SCM), clavicle, and important nerve and blood vessels, followed by the establishment of surgical channels through passive separation techniques. An arthroscope and a low-temperature plasma knife were utilized for accurate localization and surgical release of the clavicular and sternal heads of the SCM. The duration of surgery, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, neck range of motion measurements, and any intraoperative or postoperative complications were analyzed using the rank sum test. Cervical and thoracic braces were applied for three months postoperatively, with follow-up assessments conducted using Cheng’s scoring system. Results All patients successfully underwent endoscopic surgery, without the need for conversion to open surgery. No intra- or postoperative complications were observed. The average surgical duration was 56.4 ± 15.7 min, with minimal intraoperative bleeding (1–5 mL) and no need for blood transfusion. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 2.7 ± 0.8 days. Over a mean follow-up period of 22.2 ± 5.5 (range, 14–32) months, significant improvements were observed in neck rotation (from 20.2° [17.7° to 25°] to only 3.6° [2° to 6.7°]) and lateral flexion (from 19° [17° to 22.6°] to only 3° [2° to 7.8°]) restrictions (p < 0.05). According to Cheng’s scoring system, 70 (97.2%) patients achieved excellent or good clinical outcomes, while 2 (2.8%) had average outcomes. The torticollis deformity was corrected during the follow-up period, and all surgical incisions healed without noticeable scarring. Conclusion Endoscopic release is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option for CMT in children. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
