New medical device for scoliosis treatment approved by FDA Portland Shriners Hospital is one of the few hospitals with staff trained to perform innovative scoliosis treatment deformity they deserve an individualized treatment plan utilizing the most advanced and innovative techniques The spine team at the Portland Shriners Hospital takes a fully integrated team approach to the treatment of pediatric spine conditions with a focus on early detection and fusionless treatments for the growing spine as well as offering minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques for those children who do require spinal fusions A new medical device for treating scoliosis curvature of the spine has received FDA approval providing an alternative that both corrects the curve and maintains flexibility in the spine Children worldwide are affected by scoliosis and Shriners Hospitals for Children Portland has an extensive scoliosis program designed to treat all forms of the condition using every non surgical and surgical option available Michelle Welborn M D pediatric orthopaedic surgeon at the Portland Shriners Hospital is one of only 12 current surgeons across the country certified to perform this innovative surgical procedure Anterior vertebral body tethering VBT is a promising alternative for certain patients with scoliosis who meet very specific criteria are still growing and for whom surgery is indicated VBT is an alternative to spinal fusion While VBT is not right for everyone it is a great alternative to fusion particularly for those patients where preserving motion is critical such as those patients with curves in their lower spine athletes and dancers Furthermore recovery tends to be faster so patients can return to activities faster than they would following a fusion The FDA s clearance is for The Tether which uses patented methods and techniques developed by medical staff of Shriners Hospitals for Children Philadelphia and performed at the Portland Shriners Hospital It is the first commercially available product used specifically for VBT Fast facts Scoliosis The key in all care and treatments of scoliosis is prevention the earlier detection happens in children and adolescents the better possible outcomes There are many types of scoliosis How it works Instead of using metal rods VBT uses a strong flexible cord to gently pull on the outside of a scoliosis curve to straighten the spine A screw is placed in each vertebra of the curve and then attached to the flexible cord with the spine in a straighter position Scoliosis progression is stopped the spine is realigned and can continue to grow and flexibility is maintained As the child grows it is anticipated that curve progression will be halted and the spine will remain straight Neuromuscular scoliosis related to underlying conditions affecting the nerves including cerebral palsy and spina bifida The Tether straightens the spine using the patient s growth process The pressure from the cord slows the growth on the tall side of the vertebra so that the short side can grow and catch up This novel technology allows for both correction and continued motion at the levels of the spine treated unlike fusion surgeries As an emerging treatment for a small patient population this system is being made available through the FDA s humanitarian device exemption HDE pathway About anterior vertebral body tethering Customized treatment Whether a child has common idiopathic adolescent scoliosis or a highly complex spine Scoliosis associated with a syndrome or other condition such as Marfan syndrome Congenital scoliosis associated with malformed vertebra bones in the spine and or ribs Idiopathic scoliosis not related to another condition As with all medical care and procedures results differ based on individual patients Patients who opt for the tethering procedure can return to their routine activities including sports after about one month In comparison after a spinal fusion it can take six months to a year to reach that point Tethering may be an option for adolescent patients with scoliosis for whom wearing a brace is difficult for physical and or psychosocial reasons OCTOBER NOVEMBER 2019 Zor Zephyr Magazine Page 23
