Article Synopsis
- Pelvic fixation is used to align the pelvis in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) who have a pelvic tilt greater than 15º, but its effectiveness remains debated, especially for those who are immobile.
- A study involving 77 NMS patients assessed the impact of pelvic fixation on spinal deformity correction and quality of life by comparing three groups based on the fixation point (iliac, S1, L5).
- Results showed similar rates of scoliosis and pelvic obliquity correction across all groups, with no significant differences in clinical outcomes or complications, indicating that pelvic fixation might not significantly affect patient results.
