Summary
This study looked at two types of surgery for teens with scoliosis (a curved spine): vertebral body tethering (VBT) and posterior spinal fusion (PSF). The goal was to see which one corrects the curve better and keeps the spine flexible for movement. Researchers followed 12 teens for about 4 years after surgery, measuring their spine shape and how well they could move during walking and bending.
