Growing construct forces in early-onset scoliosis: How do TGR and VEPTR compare?

Key Points

• Early-onset scoliosis treatment affects the construct forces, influencing spinal alignment.
• The study highlights differences in construct forces between the TGR system and VEPTR system, with implications for treatment efficacy.
• Analysis of surgical data across various cases shows that TGR offers distinct biomechanical advantages over VEPTR.
• Understanding these differences may guide future treatment choices, improving patient outcomes in early-onset scoliosis.
