Summary
We reviewed radiographic data and complications of 100 cases of neuromuscular scoliosis operated with the same fusionless technique extended to the pelvis using ilio sacral screws. The results showed 61% correction of spinal deformities and 83% of pelvic obliquity with only 21% global complication rate. There were no neurologic complications, no rod breakage and no need for fusion conversion. Patient’s quality of life was improved by this technique as post-operative bracing was not used.
