Parent-to-parent advice on considering spinal fusion in children with neuromuscular scoliosis.
The purpose of this study was to convey advice from families whose children recently underwent spinal fusion to families whose children are under consideration for initial spinal fusion for neuromuscular scoliosis and to providers who counsel families on this decision. Results showed that parents of children who had recently undergone spinal fusion had strong perceptions about what information to convey to families considering surgery, which may improve communication between future parents and physicians. Further investigation is needed to assess how best to incorporate the wisdom and experiences of parent peers into shared decisionmaking and preparation for spinal fusion in children with neuromuscular scoliosis.
