Research progress on pedicle screw placement safety in orthopedic treatment of type 1 neurofibromatosis scoliosis
Neurofibromatosis(NF)as an autosomal dominant disease usually involves multiple sys-tems throughout the body and is classified as type 1 or type 2 NF.Neurofibromatosis scoliosis(NFS)is main-ly type 1,and severe neurofibromatosis scoliosis type 1(NF1-S)is manifested by abnormalities in spinal anat-omy and morphology,such as rotation of the parietal vertebrae and abnormal morphology of the pedicles,which leads to the difficulty and maximal risk of pedicle screw placement in scoliosis orthopedic surgery.In or-der to improve the safety of surgery,this paper discusses the morphology and anatomical structure of the pedi-cles in the patients with NF1-S,and analyzes the accuracy and safety of different pedicle-assisted screw place-ment techniques to provide reference for clinical surgery and promote the improvement of treatment level.
