Efficacy of polyester bands placed under the transverse vertebral process for the correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis : A case series of 105 patients with a minimum of 24 months follow-up.

Purpose: To report an original technique for the surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) based on hybrid construct using polyester bands placed under the thoracic transverse processes.

Methods: We reviewed 105 patients operated between 2013 to 2017 for AIS with a minimum of 2 years follow-up. Clinical and radiological data, including 2D measurements of scoliosis parameters preoperatively, and at 3- and 24-months postoperatively were analyzed.
