title: [Surgical treatment of spinal deformity due to cerebral motor disorders using a Luque type appliance].
abstract: The authors report a series of 20 cerebral palsy patients with spine deformities who need a surgical treatment. The procedure is a posterior approach and a segmental spine instrumentation: Luque-Galvestone or Cotrel-Dubousset-Luque type. Vertebral bone-graft is always performed and sacral bone is fused 16 times. Sitting position is authorized 4 to 7 days after the operation. Improvement of frontal and sagital curves as well as pelvic obliquity is of 50% and remains unchanged with a two years follow-up. Among the complications, most of them are pulmonary infections with 2 severe cases on 9 patients. Even functional status is also improved, post-operative pains and social difficulties are frequent during almost 6 months.
