The resulls of CD-Instrumentation in the surgical treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis

Abstract

Scoliosis secondary to neuromuscular diseases are probably the former type of the defined spinal deformities. In addition to systemic complications such as cardiopulmoner insufficiency due to thoracal and abdominal collaps and internal organ failures, scoliotic deformity can results with pelvic obliquity and funclional disability. Neuromuscular scoliosis is progressive even after skeletal maturity. Thus, surgical treatment is inevitable in prevention of probable complications and in correction on the deformity. In this study, 12 neuromuscuIar scoliotic patients due to poliomyelitis who were treated surgically with Cotrel Dubousset lnstrumentation in the 1st Orthopaedic and Traumatology Clinic of Ankara Social Security Hospital between August 1989 and March 1991 are examined. All of the patients were female. Mean age was 14.1 (13-18) years and mean follow-up period was 24.3 (14-32) months. All patients had C type scoliosis and 6 had regular pelvic tilt. Preoperatif mean Cobb angle was 57.3° (42°-78°) and with the Cotrel-Dubousset lnstrumentation, on an average of 44.9% correction was achieved. Pelvic tilt was corrected by 63.1%. Normal physiologic lordosis was achieved at the lumber region in 50% of the patients. In sight of these data, it is suggested that Cotrel-Dubousset technique can be used successfully in the neuromuscular scoliosis secondary to poliomyelitis.
