Drs. Zeeshan Sardar, Lawrence Lenke, A. Noelle Larson, and Scott Luhmann lead an advanced, case-based discussion on definitive correction in children with early-onset scoliosis (EOS) who have already undergone multiple growth-friendly procedures. These are some of the most technically demanding “end-game” reconstructions. Typical challenges include epidural adhesions, laminectomy defects, stiff segments/autofusion, anchor limitations, and elevated neurologic risk.
Key discussion points include:
- Obtaining reliable fixation
- Restoring global alignment, and addressing junctional pathology
- Planning osteotomies
- Traction and staged correction
- Neurologic risk mitigation
