Vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR) in early-onset scoliosis: impact on thoracic compliance and sagittal balance

BACKGROUND: Theoretically, dynamic thoracic compliance (DTC) should be reduced by vertical expandable prosthetic titanium ribs (VEPTR) since titanium rods, scar tissue and ossifications increase stiffness of the rib cage. The effect of VEPTR on thoracic compliance has not yet been elucidated. The im...
