Comparison of s2-alar and traditional iliac screw pelvic fixation for pediatric neuromuscular deformity

Background ContextMany pelvic fixation options exist for posterior spinal fusion of pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis, including standard iliac screws (SIS) or a more recently introduced S2-Alar (S2A) technique. However, little data exists comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of these techniques.PurposeIdentify differences in clinical and radiographic outcomes for pediatric neuromuscular scoliosis patients treated with standard iliac screw (SIS) or S2-Alar (S2-A) pelvic fixation.Study Design/SettingRetrospective cohort study at a pediatric orthopaedic clinic.
