Orthopaedic Management in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by Uma Balachandran, BA, Taylor Mustapich, MD, Sheena C. Ranade, MD

“…Key Concepts: (1) Orthopaedic management of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy centers primarily around mobility preservation and managing contractures, scoliosis, and fractures. (2) Perioperative considerations include cardiology (ie preoperative echocardiogram for assessing cardiomyopathy progression), pulmonology (ie sleep-related breathing disorders that may result in compromised respiratory function intraoperatively), endocrinology (ie chronic glucocorticoid use that should not be paused in the perioperative period to prevent adrenal crisis), and anesthesiology (ie avoidance of depolarizing muscle relaxants). (3) As new gene-modifying treatments become available, the orthopaedic management of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy will continue to evolve rapidly.…”
