Classification of Early-Onset Scoliosis,provided negligible prognostic information and have done little to guide treatment. More recently, emphasis has been placed on developing a more comprehensive classification system that can help physicians with difficult treatment decisions in this very heterogeneous group of patients. To this end,

We present a case of a patient with IIS who was treated initially with bracing. After documented curve progression despite bracing, he was treated with a unilateral rib to spine VEPTR construct. This construct was distracted over a 4-year interval. At mos

A recent advancement has been the creation of magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR). In this chapter we present the case of a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome and a 109. curve.

The classical posterior-based dual growing rods require repetitive distraction forces mainly across the concavity. In contrast, passive anterior tethering procedure applies compressive forces across the convex

Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) for Early-Onset Scoliosis,Anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT) has shown to be effective in this setting with promising early results; however ideal candidates and indications for AVBT continue to evolve. Very young, immature patients (open triradiate cartilage, age <10) can be at risk of overcorrection, and patients wit
