VEPTR™ Growing Rods for Early-onset Neuromuscular Scoliosis: Feasible and Effective

Abstract

VEPTR™ instrumentation as a spine-to-spine growing-rod construct demonstrated ease of implantation and expansion, with complication rates similar to other reported devices. This study suggests growing constructs using VEPTR™ can be used with relatively few complications and extends the potential uses of this instrumentation system.
