La chirurgie de la scoliose neurologique associée à un bassin oblique selon la technique de Luque Gavelston

For certain cases of stiff scoliosis, a prior anterior stage is necessary. Complications can occur, the most serious involving neurological injury. Infection is the second most problematic complication. Scoliosis surgery with fixation of the pelvis is a highly aggressive method which should be reserved for children whose handicap prevents walking. This method enables a comfortable sitting position and progressively realigns the trunk, limiting the subsequent respiratory problems. When well explained and performed for well-selected patients, this method can be significantly beneficial.
