title: [Surgical treatment of scoliosis in bed-ridden patients with cerebral palsy].
abstract: Thirty-two scoliosis in total body involved children with cerebral palsy (CP) were reviewed. Mean preoperative angle was 13. Average follow-up was four years. Surgery included a single posterior (11 cases) or anterior (3 cases) approach and a double stage anterior and posterior procedure in 18 cases. Fusion was extended to the sacrum in 15 cases. Complications were numerous: 3 deaths, 15 postoperative complications in 10 patients. Most of them were septic and cutaneous. Cobb angle was 78 degrees before surgery, 28 degrees after surgery and 32 degrees at follow-up. Functional status was improved in most of cases. Pain disappeared in 2/3 of cases. Sitting position was acquired in all cases at follow-up; motor possibilities were improved in 1/4 of cases; associated medical pathologies (mainly respiratory) were reduced in 2/3 of cases.
