Article Synopsis
- Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and idiopathic scoliosis (IS) were evaluated in a study to compare their radiographic and clinical outcomes post-surgery.
- A total of 30 patients with ASD showed a higher percent curve correction and improved curve magnitude at a 2-year follow-up compared to IS patients, despite initial differences in lumbar lordosis.
- The findings indicate that while ASD patients had lower lumbar lordosis preoperatively, their surgical outcomes were at least as good as those of IS patients, with no significant difference in complication rates.
