Surgical management of neuromuscular scoliosis in paediatric patients: experiences from a tertiary centre multidisciplinary team
Multimorbidity in children with NMS influences scoliosis MDT decisions, alongside factors such as scoliosis curve progression. Immediate postoperative complications were common but longer term outcomes were favourable for most patients. Further research aiming to better inform shared decision-making, improve surgical selection and ultimately enhance the quality of life for patients with NMS is required.
