INTRODUCTION: Vertebral body tethering (VBT) has become an alternative option for select patients with idiopathic scoliosis. However, studies have shown a high number of tether breakages, specifically after thoracolumbar (TL) VBT, that can have a negative impact on the outcome, when the breakage occurs within the first year after surgery. In order to overcome this problem, we have started to apply an apical fusion (AF) in combination with TL VBT for select patients. This study aims to analyze the outcome after AF plus VBT.
METHODS: This is a retrospective single surgeon's data analysis. All patients were included who have had TL VBT after January 2022 and a follow-up of 12 months. Patients were grouped based on whether they only had VBT or VBT + AF.
RESULTS: Twenty-five patients were analyzed (15 VBT, 10 VBT + AF). Both groups showed a significant curve correction for thoracic and TL curves. Minor loss of correction was observed in both groups. A significant difference was seen regarding early tether breakages, which were found in 60% of VBT patients and 10% of VBT + AF patients.
CONCLUSION: The preliminary data shows a significant reduction of early tether breakages when TL VBT is applied in combination with AF.
