Early onset scoliosis and current treatment methods
1Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon, Annajah Medical School-Palestine, P.O Box 3985, Albireh, Ramallah, Palestine.
Objective:
Provide an update of the management options for early onset scoliosis patients, including general assessment, conservative and surgical options.
Methods:
We included the updated information about the assessment and management options of Early Onset Scoliosis, taking into consideration the non-fusion methods, including the burden on the patient and their family.
Results:
With the heterogeneity of this population, it is difficult to get a consensus about a unified protocol for management. Accordingly, the surgeon dealing with these cases needs to be aware of the broad range of surgical and non-surgical methods when treating these patients.
Conclusion:
The main aim of early onset scoliosis treatment is to gain a flexible spine associated with normal lung development and thoracic growth. Management needs to be individualized between the surgeon and patient in relation to the etiology and patient conditions.
