Treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis With Vertebral Body Stapling

ConclusionsAlthough early outcomes after VBS appear to parallel the results of bracing, stapling does not affect the percentage of patients ultimately requiring PSIF. Initial curve correction degraded over time in younger patients with significant growth remaining, and high rates of progression in this group, even with bracing, merits investigation into more efficacious treatment strategies.Level of EvidenceLevel III.
