For a young person diagnosed with scoliosis, the traditional crossroads of treatment—a rigid brace or the permanence of spinal fusion—can feel like a choice between two significant compromises. But what if there was a third path? One that not only corrects the curve but also preserves the spine’s natural motion and flexibility. This is the promise of vertebral body tethering (VBT), a groundbreaking and dynamic surgical technique. Unlike fusion, which permanently locks vertebrae together, Spinal Tethering Surgery acts like an internal guidewire, using a strong, flexible cord to gently steer the growing spine toward a straighter alignment as the patient develops, offering a revolutionary alternative that champions both correction and mobility.
