Background: We present the results of a prospective series of 15 patients treated for neuromuscular spinal deformities with an original spinopelvic construct using two sacral screws and two iliac screws. Results were compared to a prospective cohort of 62 patients treated for neuromuscular spinal deformities by spinopelvic fixation using iliosacral screws.
Methods: From November 2005 to June 2007, the clinical data of every patient who underwent spinopelvic fixation for treatment of a neuromuscular spinal deformity were recorded prospectively.

Article Synopsis
- A study on 62 patients with neuromuscular spinal deformities demonstrated effective spinal correction through a technique involving spinopelvic fixation using iliosacral screws.
- Pelvic obliquity and angular parameters were measured, revealing various types of spinal curves, with an average patient age of 15.2 years.
- Despite a high incidence of infectious complications, the technique showed significant improvement in spinal correction and stability, especially for patients with pre-existing pelvic imbalances.
