Surgical treatment for severe and rigid scoliosis: a case-matched study between idiopathic scoliosis and syringomyelia-associated scoliosis

摘要

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Treatment guidelines for severe and rigid syringomyelia-associated scoliosis (SRSMS) are limited. Typically, surgeons apply practice guidelines for severe and rigid idiopathic scoliosis (SRIS) to treat SRSMS. No study has directly compared the results of surgical treatment between patients with SRSMS and those with SRIS.
