Guided posterior vertebral growth modulation. A novel fusionless technique for correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in immature patients with removal of the implants at maturity

Key Points

• Correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis occurs through a novel fusionless technique, which respects natural growth.
• The approach allows for the removal of implants once the patients reach maturity, promoting normal spinal development.
• Observational analysis highlights the effectiveness of guided vertebral growth modulation in immature patients with scoliosis.
• This technique may enable better outcomes while avoiding the complications associated with traditional fusion surgery.
