Posterior Hemivertebra Resection With Transpedicular Instrumentation: Early Correction in Children Aged 1 to 6 Years

Correction surgery of congenital scoliosis should be performed early, before the development of severe local deformities and secondary structural changes, especially in patients with expected deterioration. Posterior resection of the hemivertebra with transpedicular instrumentation allows for early intervention in very young children. Excellent correction in the frontal and sagittal planes, and a short segment of fusion allows for normal growth in the unaffected parts of the spine.
