NCT ID: NCT01672749 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Early Onset Scoliosis

Evaluation of a Modern System to Allow for Growth in Children With Scoliosis Versus a Conventional Treatment

Start date: June 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The foremost challenge when managing early onset scoliosis (curve deformity before the age of 10) is to prevent curve progression while maintaining growth of the spine. Current treatment options require repetitive interventions as the spine and the child grow. This study will compare two techniques of growth modulation: Standard dual growing rods versus the new Luqué Trolley screws Hypothesis: Patients treated with the DePuy Synthes TROLLEY system will undergo fewer re-operations after 3 years of follow-up (FU) than patients included in the comparison group
