Abstract
Spinal deformity in Duchenne muscular dystrophy exerts enormous influence on the prognosis and daily activities of the patients. Spinal bracing and spinal fusion were attempted to prevent the progression of spinal deformity. Spinal bracing however failed to prevent progression and there were no clear indications of the surgical management of spinal deformity.
