Doctors use ultrasound to see inside spines after innovative surgery
NCT ID NCT04969770
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the spine stiffens over time in children with neuromuscular scoliosis who received a specific, less invasive surgery. Researchers used a special ultrasound technique called elastography to measure stiffness in the spinal discs and muscles of 36 young patients. The goal was to gather information to help improve future surgical treatments for this condition.
