Novel Active Apex Correction Technique for Early-Onset Scoliosis in Children

This webinar will explore the Active Apex Correction technique as an innovative surgical approach for managing children with early-onset scoliosis. Experts will discuss patient selection, surgical planning, intraoperative steps, and postoperative outcomes, with a focus on preserving spinal growth...

• Early onset scoliosis (EOS) is defined as spinal deformity in children under 10 years old, encompassing various etiologies like neuromuscular, congenital, or idiopathic. The primary challenge in managing EOS surgically is correcting the deformity while preserving trunk and lung growth, avoiding fusion as it restricts lung development. Ideally, surgery should maintain correction, support growth, and minimize complications, a significant burden for both families and children.
