Pedicle subtraction osteotomy vs multiple posterior column osteotomies in severe and rigid neuromuscular scoliosis
Spine Jul 14, 2018
Bekmez S, et al. - Researchers compared the safety and efficacy of the apical pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) technique with multiple posterior column osteotomies (PCOs) in nonambulatory patients with severe, rigid neuromuscular scoliosis. In correction of severe and rigid neuromuscular scoliosis, PSO may be an option. Better correction of pelvic obliquity was provided by it without increasing operative time, need for transfusion, or duration of hospitalization vs multiple apical PCO technique. In surgical decision making, traction radiograph under general anesthesia was a valuable tool.
