Bracing typically does not prevent progression of spinal curves, and surgery is necessary for these patients. \u003ccite\u003eNeuromuscular Spine Deformity\u003c\/cite\u003e by Amer F. Samdani et al is the most comprehensive book on this topic to date, detailing the latest surgical techniques for a wide range of common to rare neuromuscular pathologies, in 27 well-illustrated chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe comprehensive content derives from the authors' collective years of hands-on expertise, evidence-based knowledge from the literature, and multicenter scoliosis studies performed by the prestigious Harms Study Group, a worldwide research-based association of spine surgeons. The text begins with discussion of preoperative evaluation, nonoperative management, and surgical considerations such as anesthesia, neuromonitoring, and estimated blood loss. Section two highlights pathology-specific surgical interventions, while sections three and four provide clinical pearls on a wide array of surgical techniques, complications, and patient outcomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisease-related challenges including dislocated hips, hyperlordotic\/hyperkyphotic spine in cerebral palsy, myelomeningocele-related myelodysplasia and spine deformity, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, and spinal muscular atrophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuidance on assessing the sagittal profile preoperatively and executing it intraoperatively in patients with spinal cord injury\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple options for fixation including the new sacral alar iliac screw approach for sacropelvic fixation and correction of pelvic obliquity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePostoperative issues including ICU management, incidence and management of early and late wound infection, instrumentation failure, junctional kyphosis, and cervical extension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth-related quality of life outcomes in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy who have undergone scoliosis surgery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis state-of-the-art resource is essential reading for orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and trainees in these specialties.
