Halo-gravity traction followed by definitive fusion in severe early onset scoliosis: results of a trunk analysis based on biplanar 3D reconstructions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "European Spine Journal"
DOI: 10.1007/s00586-021-06986-y
Abstract: Definitive fusion can be considered in early onset scoliosis (EOS) around triradiate cartilage closure. Halo-gravity traction (HGT) is an old strategy that can help lengthen and balance the spine before fusion. The postoperative changes of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.08.165
Abstract: Background Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is characterized by bone fragility and is often accompanied by spinal deformity. Surgical treatment for early-onset scoliosis in patients with OI is hazardous and difficult due to the bone fragility and… read more here.

Early Onset Scoliosis: Is there an Improvement in Quality of Life With Conversion From Traditional Growing Rods to Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics"
DOI: 10.1097/bpo.0000000000001299
Abstract: Background: Modern treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) includes implantation of traditional growing rods (TGR) or magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for posterior-based distraction if nonoperative treatment plans failed. The recent MCGR innovation has largely… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/bpo.0000000000002096
Abstract: Background: While largely of concern in nonambulatory patients, pelvic obliquity (PO) can be found in many patients with early onset scoliosis (EOS) and may remain following surgery. However, its association with health-related quality of life… read more here.
