[Spinal deformity in Parkinson's disease: a treatment proposal]
|
abstract
|
Spinal deformities in Parkinson's disease are difficult to treat but
with good indications, spinal surgery is a better treatment option
taking into account all factors that accompany Parkinson's disease.
Despite greater operational time and cost expenditure with a long
rehabilitation period, long stretch segmental fusion is preferable
to short stretch segment fusion due to the lower revision rate. An
adequate postoperative rehabilitation and good patient care is
essential for success. This case illustrates successful treatment of
a patient with Parkinson's disease and camptocormia by long stretch
segmental fusion.
