The use of screw fixation in the ilium as a means of spinopelvic anchorage is safe and effective in the treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis. The use of 2 screws in each iliac wing provides more stable fixation with fewer implant-related complications than using a single screw.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
