Abstract

Restrospective analysis of early hemivertebra resection and short fusion for children under the age of 5, with a 7.6-year follow-up. Early surgery allowed for a good coronal correction initially which was difficult to maintain at final follow-up, especially in the lumbosacral junction. Sagittal plane correction was excellent in thoracolumbar deformities and was maintained over time. Early surgery prevented the development of severe deformities and secondary structural curves, however results were more challenging in the lumbosacral group compared with thoracolumbar deformities.
