This study compared short- and long-term postoperative outcomes between pediatric NMS patients who underwent posterior spinal fusion with and without pelvic fixation. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the TriNetX Research Network, a federated database aggregating deidentified electronic health records from 106 healthcare organizations. Pediatric patients (≤21 years) with NMS who underwent posterior spinal fusion with or without pelvic fixation were identified. Before matching, 985 patients had undergone pelvic fixation, and 1492 had not. Following 1 : 1 propensity score matching, 592 matched pairs were retained for analysis. Matching controlled for differences in demographics, comorbidities, number of vertebral levels fused, and neuromuscular diagnosis. Postoperative complications were assessed at two time windows: short-term (1-365 days) and long-term (≥365 days). Pelvic fixation was associated with significantly higher short-term complication rates, including postoperative infections and wound breakdown. Mortality did not differ significantly between groups in either follow-up period. No statistically significant differences were observed in long-term complication rates, including pseudoarthrosis, revision surgery, and additional instrumentation. Pelvic fixation in pediatric posterior spinal fusion for NMS is associated with increased short-term morbidity, particularly wound complications and infections, which can affect recovery. Long-term outcomes, including hardware failure, pseudarthrosis, and revision, were comparable between groups.

We describe a synthetic variation using a button-suture-button construct to replicate ligamentum teres function and report early outcomes. We conducted a prospective case series of pediatric patients with International Hip Dysplasia Institute classification (IHDI) grade III-IV DDH and intraoperatively confirmed absence of the ligamentum teres. Open reduction with intraosseous femoral tunneling and synthetic teretization was performed, combined with femoral and pelvic osteotomies. The construct was tensioned to maintain concentric reduction without overconstraint. Clinical outcomes included hip stability, range of motion, McKay score, pain, and complications. Radiographic assessment included IHDI and Severin classification, acetabular index, and avascular necrosis. Nine hips in eight female patients, with a median age of 24 months, underwent synthetic teretization. At a median 23-month follow-up, all hips remained stable, painless, and without functional limitation. Eight hips achieved postoperative IHDI type I and one type II. Among patients aged 4 years or older at final follow-up, all hips were Severin grade I. No redislocation, infection, growth arrest, avascular necrosis, or hardware-related complications occurred.

Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Harris Hip Score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, while radiographic outcomes included slip angle, α angle, and Tönnis grade. The mean preoperative slip and α angles were 69.3 ± 8.2 and 86.6 ± 18.8°, respectively, improving significantly to 8.5 ± 5.5 and 32.5 ± 7.5° at the latest follow-up.
