Scoliosis tethering surgery is a growth-friendly surgical approach that may be considered for some children and adolescents with progressive scoliosis. Unlike traditional spinal fusion, this technique is designed to preserve more movement in the spine while allowing the patient's growth to continue. The procedure generally involves placing a flexible tether along the curved portion of the spine. As the child grows, the tether can help influence the development of the vertebrae and gradually reduce the spinal curve.
