While most spine deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and
lordosis are idiopathic, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spinal
cord tumors and lesions are associated with more severe curve
progression. Bracing typically does not prevent progression of
spinal curves, and surgery is necessary for these patients.
Neuromuscular Spine Deformity by Amer F. Samdani et al is the most
comprehensive book on this topic to date, detailing the latest
surgical techniques for a wide range of common to rare
neuromuscular pathologies, in 27 well-illustrated chapters. The
comprehensive content derives from the authors' collective years of
hands-on expertise, evidence-based knowledge from the literature,
and multicenter scoliosis studies performed by the prestigious
Harms Study Group, a worldwide research-based association of spine
surgeons. The text begins with discussion of preoperative
evaluation, nonoperative management, and surgical considerations
such as anesthesia, neuromonitoring, and estimated blood loss.
Section two highlights pathology-specific surgical interventions,
while sections three and four provide clinical pearls on a wide
array of surgical techniques, complications, and patient outcomes.
Key Highlights Disease-related challenges including dislocated
hips, hyperlordotic/hyperkyphotic spine in cerebral palsy,
myelomeningocele-related myelodysplasia and spine deformity,
Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy Guidance
on assessing the sagittal profile preoperatively and executing it
intraoperatively in patients with spinal cord injury Multiple
options for fixation including the new sacral alar iliac screw
approach for sacropelvic fixation and correction of pelvic
obliquity Postoperative issues including ICU management, incidence
and management of early and late wound infection, instrumentation
failure, junctional kyphosis, and cervical extension Health-related
quality of life outcomes in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy
who have undergone scoliosis surgery This state-of-the-art resource
is essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and
trainees in these specialties. It is also a must-have reference for
academic programs and institutional departments specializing in
pediatric spine pathologies.
