Abstract

The orthopedic care of patients with myelomeningocele (MM) has improved over time due to increased attention to functional goals. Whenever possible, orthopedic care should be part of a multidisciplinary team approach in order to best manage the complex medical comorbidities in patients with MM. Orthopedic manifestations of MM may be congenital, such as kyphosis and clubfoot, or acquired due to muscle imbalance, paralysis, and impaired sensation. Orthopedic care should be aimed at preventing or correcting deformities to optimize mobility, function, and independence. The role of the orthopedic surgeon is to assist the patient and family in developing individualized, realistic goals and to provide the care necessary to meet these goals.
