Implication

Experimental study demonstrates anterior vertebral stapling limits progressive scoliosis wedging, indicating partial modulation under the Hueter-Volkmann law.

Key Points

To evaluate the capacity of anterior vertebral stapling to modulate relative and absolute growth according to the Hueter-Volkmann law in progressive experimental scoliosis.
Applied anterior vertebral stapling at the apical spinal segment in an experimental model of progressive scoliosis.
Assessed relative and absolute growth alterations and vertebral wedging against principles of the Hueter-Volkmann law.
Anterior vertebral stapling successfully modulated growth and controlled progressive wedging and scoliosis at the apical spinal segment.
Stapling intervention was insufficient to completely reverse the growth-inhibiting Hueter-Volkmann effect.
