Vertebral body tethering (VBT) has acquired popularity as the alternative treatment to fusion surgery in treating some cases of scoliosis, but especially so in young, growing patients. This surgical procedure is designed to correct the curvature of the spine while leaving it flexible enough to allow growth potential. The Spinal Tethering Surgery involves the use of a flexible cord and screws that guide the spine slowly, in comparison to fusion, which permanently stunts movement and thereby further growth. Such treatment becomes more important in the adolescent age group, where idiopathic scoliosis could lead to severe deformities that might affect lung function, lead to pain, and lower quality of life.
