DOI: 10.1007/s43390-025-01113-z
Abstract: Although posterior spinal fusion (PSF) is considered the gold standard for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis, it has been associated with several limitations. Vertebral body tethering (VBT) offers a motion-preserving alternative, with growing evidence supporting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/21925682221100444
Abstract: STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVES Mid-term Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) results demonstrate an acceptable degree of clinical success, yet the revision rate remains notably higher than fusion. Fulcrum-bending radiographs have previously been shown… read more here.
