Popis: ABSTRACT Objective: Reveal frontal and sagittal patterns of spinal deformity depending on neuromuscular nosology for surgery and outcome planning. The characteristics of spinal deformity vary according to the pathology. In cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, and spinal muscular atrophy, specific features of deformities are poorly written, especially in the sagittal profile. Methods: The evaluation criteria were age, gender of the patients, the volume of blood loss, duration of hospitalization, measurement of the deformity curve, thoracic and lumbar kyphosis (Cobb angle), pelvic obliquity concerning the horizontal line, the percentage of curve correction. Cobb angle was measured preoperatively before hospital discharge (up to 21 days postoperatively) and one year after surgery. Results: The cohort of 71 patients with spinal deformities due to neuromuscular diseases included four groups: muscular dystrophy (MD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and cerebral palsy (CP). The most characteristic deformity in the frontal plane was C-shaped thoracolumbar scoliosis with rotation of the pelvis; rotation of the vertebrae increased according to the magnitude of scoliosis. Lumbar hyperlordosis was common in patients with PD, whereas decreased thoracic kyphosis or even thoracic lordosis occurs more frequently in patients with DMD. Moderate correction of scoliosis was observed in all groups. There was no significant improvement in functional status, according to the FIM. Conclusion: The findings showed that rigid hyperlordosis is the main problem of spinal deformities in neuromuscular patients. Scoliosis and pelvic obliquity can be well corrected in NMS by pedicle screw construction with standard maneuvers and pelvic screw fixation. Level of Evidence IV; Lesser quality prospective study.
