What are the treatment methods for early-onset scoliosis?
The treatment of early-onset scoliosis can be divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment:

The first kind of conservative treatment: the child's immature chest can be corrected with braces, which need to be treated with braces and other braces until 10 years old, and can also be corrected with plaster.

Second surgical treatment: the operation should be carried out according to the specific situation of the child. If early fusion of vertebral bodies occurs (usually

Cobb angle > 40

): unilateral epiphyseal shaft fixation, growth inhibition (VEPTR), posterior orthopedic fusion+spinal internal fixation, osteotomy or fusion (VCR, thoracostomy) and other surgical methods can be used for treatment. At present, only Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center can carry out hemivertebra surgery for children under 2 years old.
