Abstract

There are some syndromes that present with unique manifestations pertaining to the spinal column. A good working understanding of these common syndromes is useful for the spinal deformity surgeons and related healthcare providers. This review attempts to encompass these unique features and discuss them in three broad groups: hypermobility syndromes, muscle pathology-related syndromes, and syndromes related to poor bone quality. This review explores the features of these syndromes underpinning the aspects of surgical and medical management. This review represents the proceedings of the Paediatric Half-Day Course at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Scoliosis Research Society.
