Background: Congenital scoliosis (CS) is a developmental spinal deformity characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine, affecting one in 1,000 births. The mainstay of treatment involves either observation or surgery in significant curve progression. The optimal timing of surgical intervention is debated, with early intervention preferred.

Growth-guidance constructs are an alternative to growing rods for the surgical treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS). Constructs containing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sublaminar tape have been proposed as an improvement to the traditional Luque trolley. Ideally, a certain minimum number of levels is instrumented, thus offering the best balance between providing adequate spinal fixation and minimizing surgical exposure and spinal mobility reduction.

Aims: To report the mid-term results of a modified self-growing rod (SGR) technique for the treatment of idiopathic and neuromuscular early-onset scoliosis (EOS).
Methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of 16 consecutive patients with EOS treated with an SGR construct at a single hospital between September 2008 and December 2014. General demographics and deformity variables (i.

The treatments for early-onset scoliosis (EOS) remain great challenges for spine surgeons. This study aimed to comprehensively review the treatments for EOS, especially the advancements made in the last decade. Current studies on EOS were retrieved through a search on PubMed, UpToDate, the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus were reviewed.

Background Context: The optimal method for surgical treatment of early onset scoliosis is currently unknown. Although the aim of growth-friendly systems is to reduce the curve and maintain growth, there is no consensus on how to measure spinal growth during and after the treatment. Different measurements of different segments (T1-S1, T1-T12, instrumented length) are used for different time points to evaluate growth.
