摘要
The objective of early lower limb surgery in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is to preserve the patient's walking capacity and functional independence for as long as possible by using limited surgical therapy. The indications for such therapy derive from careful follow-up of patients, with special attention to muscular and/or aponeurotic contractures as well as developing functional limitations. Since 1985, 22 patients with DMD treated by early operation were followed up; at the end of the follow-up period, 19 of the 22 patients were still able to walk and 11 were aged > 10 years. The improvement in clinical appearance of these patients with limited operation and the absence of braces in the postoperative period underlines the usefulness of this technique.
