In neuromuscular diseases, the OWSER bilateral construct seems to be safe and less aggressive. Used as unilateral construct in non-neuromuscular group, it was less effective. Accordingly, we recommend the bilateral construct for all aetiologies. That device could avoid further surgery and reduce the rate of complications after long follow-up.
