Article Synopsis
- This study is a retrospective cohort analysis comparing two surgical techniques for pelvic screw fixation in neuromuscular scoliosis patients, focusing on the rate of distal implant failure.
- The modified iliac screw technique (MODS2) showed a significantly lower failure rate (23%) compared to the traditional technique (PSIS) with a failure rate of 55%.
- Three risk factors for distal implant failure were identified: high pelvic incidence, high angle rod contour, and the use of an offset connector, but failure wasn't linked to factors like cross-link use or screw density.
