Pedicle Screw-only Constructs With Lumbar or Pelvic Fixation for Spinal Stabilization in Patients With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Abstract

Pedicle screw-only constructs provide good stability allowing better correction and maintenance of coronal and lumbar deformities, obtaining good sitting balance, and mobilizing patients early after surgery. Longer follow-up is required to adequately comment on the need for pelvic stabilization.
