Vertebral body tethering (VBT) is a non-fusion technique to correct scoliosis allowing correction of scoliosis through growth modulation (GM) by tethering the convex side to allow concave unrestricted growth similar to the hemiepiphysiodesis concept. The other modality is anterior scoliosis correction (ASC) where the tether is able to perform most of the correction immediately where limited growth is expected. A retrospective analysis of 20 patients (M:F=19:1 – 9–17 years) between January 2014 to December 2016 with a mean five-year follow-up (4 to 7).Abstract
