Core Tip	Neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) represents a medically and surgically complex disorder that can have a profound impact on the patient’s quality of life and the ability of their caretakers to provide adequate care. The purpose of this study is to determine whether posterior spinal fusion with pelvic fixation using iliac or SAI screws in ambulatory NMS patients affects postoperative ambulatory ability.
