TLDR
VBS is effective in controlling curve progression in the high-risk group of children younger than 10 years with idiopathic scoliosis between 30° and 39° in whom bracing may be ineffective.Abstract:

Vertebral Body Stapling for Moderate Juvenile and Early Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Cautions and Patient Selection Criteria.
TL;DR: This series contains the most patients and longest followup reported for VBS, but successful curve control was achieved less frequently than in previous reports, particularly in patients <10 years.

Early outcomes of spinal growth tethering for idiopathic scoliosis with a novel device: a prospective study with 2 years of follow-up
TL;DR: A new method of spinal growth tethering using minimal invasive videothoracoscopic approach allowed a stabilization of the deformity during growth spurt in six patients with flexible thoracic curves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth tethering devices for idiopathic scoliosis
TL;DR: This review discusses the recent developments in the field of spinal growth modulation techniques and discusses the pros and cons of the medical devices used in this indication.

Does preoperative and intraoperative imaging for anterior vertebral body tethering predict postoperative correction
TL;DR: In this paper, a single-center retrospective review was conducted to determine whether preoperative flexibility radiographs or intraoperative radiographs would predict correction at first erect imaging for scoliosis patients undergoing anterior vertebral body tethering (AVBT).
Journal ArticleDOI
What’s New in Pediatric Spine Growth Modulation and Implant Technology for Early-onset Scoliosis?
TL;DR: This paper summarizes the recently published literature regarding growth-friendly spinal implants, the status of their Food and Drug Administration approval labeling as well as the indications, applications, and complications associated with their implementation.

The prediction of curve progression in untreated idiopathic scoliosis during growth.

TL;DR: The incidence of curve progression was found to be related to the pattern and magnitude of the curve, the patient's age at presentation, the Risser sign, and the patients' menarchal status.

TL;DR: It was found that use of the Milwaukee brace or another thoracolumbosacral orthosis for twenty-three hours per day effectively halted progression of the curve.

Surgical rates after observation and bracing for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: an evidence-based review.
TL;DR: A pooled estimate of the prevalence of surgery after observation and after brace treatment in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) shows no clear advantage of either approach, and one cannot recommend one approach over the other to prevent the need for surgery in AIS.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that vertebral body stapling for the treatment of scoliosis in the adolescent was feasible and safe in this group of 21 patients and appears to have utility in stabilizing curves of progressive adolescent idiopathic scolia.

A prospective study of brace treatment versus observation alone in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a follow-up mean of 16 years after maturity.
TL;DR: The curves of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a moderate or smaller size at maturity did not deteriorate beyond their original curve size at the 16-year follow-up, and was related to immaturity.
