Surgical Correction of Scoliosis in Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy Using the Unit Rod Instrumentation

Abstract

The Unit rod instrumentation is a common standard technique and the primary instrumentation system for the treatment of pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular scoliosis because it is simple to use, it is considerably less expensive than most other systems, and can achieve good deformity correction with a low loss of correction, as well as a low prevalence of associated complications and a low reoperation rate.
