Safety and Efficacy of Treatment for Scolios Is Secondary to Spinal Muscular Atrophy Fused to Lumbar 5 Level

摘要

Introduction Patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) usually have progressive scoliosis. Although fusion of the sacrum or pelvis has been recommended for correcting pelvic obliquity (PO), the procedure is invasive. This study determined as to whether performing instrumentation to the fifth lumbar vertebra (L5) is safe and effective for scoliosis in patients with SMA.
