    Review of emerging techniques in the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in children and adolescents.

    Major developments in the surgical techniques for idiopathic scoliosis have included robotic-assisted pedicle screw placement, vertebral body stapling, vertebral body tethering, magnetically controlled growing rods, ApiFix and sublaminar polyester bands. Such growth-modulating fusionless surgical techniques have received increasing attention in recent years, especially for the younger scoliosis population with significant growth potential remaining.

    Arnin U, El-Hawary R, Betz, RR et al. (2019) Preclinical Bench Testing on a Novel Posterior Dynamic Deformity Correction Device for Scoliosis. Spine Deformity 7, 203-212.

    Preclinical testing of a distractible posterior dynamic deformity correction device for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

    The features of the MID-C system, based on polyaxial joints and ceramic coating, resulted in favourable static, fatigue, and wear resistance properties. Wear properties were superior to those published for artificial spinal discs. Long-term outcomes from clinical use will be required to correlate these bench tests to the in vivo reality of clinical use.
