The application of finite element analysis to determine the optimal UIV of growing-rod treatment in early-onset scoliosis

The application of finite element analysis to determine the optimal UIV of growing-rod treatment in early-onset scoliosis

Objectives: To analyze the stress distribution in the proximal vertebral body and soft tissue of dual growing-rod (GR) with different upper instrumented vertebra (UIV) to determine the optimal UIV.Methods: A ten-year-old male EOS case treated with GR was selected. Based on spiral computed tomography...
