First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This study tested a device called NEMOST, which is implanted in the spine of children with progressive scoliosis. The goal was to see if the device, combined with physiotherapy, could keep the spine straight while allowing natural growth and avoiding the need for more surgeries. Twenty children aged 5 to 15 took part, and the main measure of success was no worsening of the spine curve by more than 15 degrees one year after surgery.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help children with progressive scoliosis avoid multiple surgeries while maintaining spine correction and natural growth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The device may fail to prevent curve worsening or could require reoperation.
