Abstract

Scoliosis is a common deformity in many types of neuromuscular disease. The orthopaedic surgeon is often the first physician who is required to diagnose and treat a young patient with spinal deformity and neuromuscular disorders. These diseases make to lose the ability to ambulate and determine the progression of scoliosis with collapse of the column. Severe spinal curvature can cause difficulty also in sitting. Conservative and surgical treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis differs from idiopathic scoliosis, being more complex and with a higher complications rate [1].
