Condition: Orthopedics
Phase: N/A

What is the goal of the study?

To improve clinical, surgical, and parent/patient reported outcomes for children with congenital scoliosis undergoing a surgical procedure to treat scoliosis.

We will compare surgical techniques, patient/parent feedback, information measured from X-Rays (and other types of medical imaging), and more.
