Abstract

The outcomes of this minimally invasive fusionless technique at 5 years follow-up showed a stable correction of spinal deformities and pelvic obliquity over time, with a reduced rate of complication. The arthrodesis was not required for all patients at skeletal maturity. This technique could be a good alternative to arthrodesis for neuromuscular scoliosis.Level of Evidence: 3.
