This letter compares the clinical efficacy and economic feasibility of the scoliocorrector fatma-UI (SCFUI) with direct vertebral rotation (DVR) in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). SCFUI has shown promising results in three-dimensional spinal correction, providing superior rotational alignment compared to DVR and achieving significant improvements in coronal and sagittal planes. Additionally, SCFUI's advanced design reduces risks associated with AIS surgeries and enhances overall patient outcomes. Economic analysis reveals SCFUI as a cost-effective option, potentially lowering long-term healthcare costs by minimizing complications and revisions. Our findings suggest that SCFUI is a viable, innovative approach in AIS treatment, meeting clinical and economic demands in orthopedic care.
