A Thoracoscopic Technique Used in Anterior Vertebral Tethering for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Anterior vertebral tethering (AVT) is a relatively recent alternative to posterior spinal fusion for progressive curves in growing patients with idiopathic scoliosis. AVT uses a thoracoscopic approach to minimize trauma to the thoracic wall and chest cavity. There are limited technical descriptions...

description Anterior vertebral tethering (AVT) is a relatively recent alternative to posterior spinal fusion for progressive curves in growing patients with idiopathic scoliosis. AVT uses a thoracoscopic approach to minimize trauma to the thoracic wall and chest cavity. There are limited technical descriptions of this method. Patients benefit from proficiency and reproducibility to allow for appropriate spinal curve correction over time. This Technical Note outlines the steps of the thoracoscopic approach to AVT and reviews the current indications for AVT over posterior spinal fusion, as well as the most recently published clinical outcomes of this procedure.
