28. A retrospective review of 23 children who underwent the dual-rod technique to control progressive scoliosis. The authors document the safety and efficacy of this technique.
29. The authors describe their experience in 39 patients with scoliosis who were treated with vertebral body stapling. Eighty-seven percent of the curves were well controlled.
30. A retrospective review of 29 young children treated with a submuscular growing rod with or without apical fusion. The authors conclude that this is a worthwhile technique in children who do not tolerate orthotic treatment.
31. The authors report excellent results using a shape memory alloy staple in treatment of experimental scoliosis in a goat model.
32. The authors report on 21 patients with congenital scoliosis treated with expansion thoracoplasty and VEPTR. They report the continued growth of the spine in these patients.
33. The authors describe the largest series of patients with infantile scoliosis who were evaluated with a spine MRI. Ten of 46 patients harbored an intraspinal anomaly.
34. The authors report a combined prospective and retrospective review of patients with infantile and juvenile scoliosis. They conclude that a total spine MRI is indicated in these patients because of the high incidence of neural axis abnormalities.
35. An early review of curve patterns and natural history of 212 patients with scoliosis.
36. The authors describe a mixed group of 67 patients with progressive scoliosis who were managed with spinal instrumentation without fusion.
37. The authors reviewed 43 patients with juvenile scoliosis who were followed to skeletal maturity. The authors describe the natural history, effects of bracing, and risk factors for progression.
38. A retrospective review of 22 patients with infantile scoliosis who underwent anterior and posterior convex spinal ephiphysiodesis. The authors conclude that this procedure does not prevent progression in patients with infantile idiopathic scoliosis.
39. The author reviews the results of serial plastic jacket applications in 136 patients with infantile scoliosis.
40. Mehta's original description of the RVAD and its prognostic value in determining resolving and progressive infantile scoliosis.
41. The authors describe the major curve patterns observed in 109 patients with juvenile scoliosis.
42. A meta analysis of 1910 patients with idiopathic scoliosis who were managed with either bracing, electrical stimulation, or observation. In this study, the 23 hours a day bracing regimen was most successful.
43. The authors conducted a retrospective study of 28 patients who underwent placement of growing rods. The authors concluded that dual rods provided better initial correction and maintenance of the correction than did single rods.
