Deformity correction from T3 to S1 in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). (A) A 16-year-old male patient who diagnosed with cerebral palsy (spastic quadriplegia) showed neuromuscular scoliosis. The whole-spine anterior–posterior image showed 101° of scoliosis deformity, and pelvic obliquity was 21° as measured by pelvic tilting angle. (B) The immediate postoperative radiograph showed 10° of the Cobb’s angle (90.1% of correction rate) and 11° of the pelvic tilting angle (47.6% of correction rate, which are not performed by spinopelvic fixation). (C) The 2-year follow-up Cobb angle was 33° and pelvic obliquity was 13°.
