Adulthood consequences of spinal deformity surgeries in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients
At an average follow-up of 14.8 years after surgery, 5 of 38 patients had died, 29 patients (76.3%) were able to lead a social life. However, HR-QOL was lower than that of AIS. Patients undergoing NF-1 scoliosis surgery require careful long-term follow-up, taking into account the possibility of reoperation due to osteolysis, malignant changes in the tumor, and vascular problems due to vascular fragility.
