[S2 Alar-Iliac Screws in Fixation and Correction of Combined Neuromuscular Spinal and Pelvic Deformities].

CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous stabilisation of spine and pelvis makes it possible to achieve a good quality correction of the deformity and good clinical results over a long period of time. It allows for stability of the sitting position of the patients and improves the quality of their lives. Nowadays, the S2AI screws are considered to be biomechanically the best quality pelvic fixation, eliminating subcutaneous prominence of the instrumentation and reducing the risk of skin decubitus. Key words:neuromuscular deformity, sacral-alar-iliac screw, pelvic obliquity, stabilization, scoliosis. PMID: 30257778 [PubMed - in process]
