title: [The Luque-Galveston operation in the treatment of neuropathic pelvic tilt].
abstract: A series of 17 patients with neuromuscular pelvic obliquity underwent Luque-Galveston instrumentation. None of these patients had an increased neurologic deficit. One intraoperative death occurred due to pulmonary air embolism. It was possible to follow up 13 patients for an average of 2.7 years. The average correction achieved was from 97.6 degree to 38.8 degree for pronounce unbalanced lumbar or thoracolumbar curves: the correction loss averaged 3.6%. Combination with anterior correction or fusion in 38% is believed to be the factor that enabled us to reduce the incidence of pseudarthrosis and implant failure.
