    The effects of treatment of scoliosis in neurofibromatosis type 1 are less satisfactory than other scoliotic types due to the particular pathogenesis and clinical characteristics. Surgical treatment usually included 360 degrees fusion with instrumentation, but optimal strategies are different according to the degree of deformity. High incidence of pseudarthrosis, extensive bleeding and curve progression even after solid spinal fusion are also major concerns of neurofibromatosis type 1 associated spinal deformity surgery. With advance of technology, cobalt-chrome rod with dural rod technique, tranexamic acid, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and electrophysiologic monitoring were used in neurofibromatosis deformity surgery to get better outcome. Searching from PubMed, we reviewed overall about neurofibromatosis spine deformity surgery. .. Read More»
