Overview
Surgery is usually used for patients with either: Scoliosis, progressive equinovarus deformity, progressive severe dysphagia with endoscopic gastrostomy and progressive severe cardiac failure with cardiac transplantation.
Indications and Surgery
Surgery is usually used for patients with either:
- Scoliosis
- The scoliosis progress in most children initially treated with a brace and finally they required surgery.
- Progressive equinovarus deformity
- Surgery may relieve pain and re-balance muscle forces across the foot of patients with Freidreich's ataxia, helping the patient's gait and preventing the progression or recurrence of the deformity.
- Progressive severe dysphagia with endoscopic gastrostomy
- Progressive severe cardiac failure with cardiac transplantation
