Description
Vertebral body tethering is a recently introduced non-fusion spinal surgery for skeletally immature patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. The results suggest that VBT can be considered safe and effective for this unique subset of patients from the systematic review of the literature, and from the Queensland cohort, to a minimum follow-up time point of 2.5 years after the surgery. No significant relationship between deformity progression and suspected tether breakage was identified.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
