New scoliosis surgery aims to keep the spine moving
NCT ID NCT07450326
Summary
This study compared two different surgeries to correct a curved spine (scoliosis) in teenagers. It looked at a newer technique called vertebral body tethering, which uses a flexible cord, versus the traditional method of spinal fusion, which uses rigid rods. The goal was to see which surgery better corrected the curve while also preserving the spine's natural ability to move.
