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.
