- Non Operative Treatment:
    - many patients can achieve functional sitting with body jackets or molded wheelchair inserts;
    - custom molded seat insertes allow better positioning but do not prevent curve progression;

- Surgical Treatment:
    - w/ spastic quadriplegia scoliosis can be especially severe, and is associated with an increased incidence of pseudoarthrosis if treated with 
          conventional posterior fusion;
          - anterior and posterior fusion or segmental instrumentation is favored in patients who can no longer sit properly;
    - curves > 80 deg, rigid curves, and those w/ severe pelvic obliquity require combined anterior & posterior arthrodesis;
    - fusion to the sacrum is required with a fixed pelvic obliquity (eg. with Luque rods to the pelvis - Galveston technique);
    - kyphosis is also common and may require fusion & instrumentation
