Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the early results of Active Apex Correction (APC) technique for managing early onset scoliosis.

Conditions

  • Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS)

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Active Apex Correction (APC)

• Active Apex Correction (APC) begins with the identification of the curve apex and the selection of upper and lower "foundation" vertebrae, where pedicle screws are placed on the convex side only, above and below the most wedged vertebrae. No screws are inserted on the concave side, avoiding the need for osteotomies at the apex. The rods are then connected to both upper and lower foundation constructs, contoured to maintain appropriate sagittal alignment.
