A comparison of growth among growth friendly systems for scoliosis: a systematic review

The optimal method for surgical treatment of early onset scoliosis is currently unknown. Although the aim of growth-friendly systems is to reduce the curve and maintain growth, there is no consensus on how to measure spinal growth during and after the treatment. Different measurements of different segments (T1-S1, T1-T12, instrumented length) are used for different time points to evaluate growth. The aim of this review is to assess what measurements are used and to compare the growth-friendly systems based on spinal growth during treatment.
