Background: For children undergoing treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) using spine-based distraction, recently published research would suggest that total spine length (T1-S1) achieved after the initial lengthening procedure decreases with each subsequent lengthening. Our purpose was to evaluate the effect of rib-based distraction on spine growth in children with EOS.
Methods: This was a retrospective multi-center review of 35 patients treated with rib-based distraction (minimum 5 y follow-up).
