Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The Authors evaluated the results of surgical management in 7 patients with spinal deformities due to Duchenne muscular distrophy. Or the basis of the results obtained and given the knowledge as to the natural history of the disease and correlated deformities, the Authors maintain that surgery still remains the only therapeutic means available capable of arresting the evolution of spinal deformity.
