Low bone mineral density in non-ambulatory adolescents relates to lower correction of neuromuscular scoliosis after posterior spinal fusion.
PURPOSE Non-ambulatory adolescents with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) often require surgical intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine whether low bone mineral density (BMD) affects the results of posterior spinal fusion. METHODS Volumetric BMD (vBMD) was measured in preoperative computed tomography (CT)...
