Vertebral body tethering is a nonfusion technique for the surgical correction of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and was approved in August 2019 by US Federal Drug Administration (FDA). For skeletally immature patients for whom vertebral body tethering is indicated, it is an alternative option to the gold standard posterior spinal fusion and may at least partially preserve motion in instrumented segments of the spine. Benefits of the procedure include the possibility of avoiding the long-term sequelae of posterior spinal fusion such as adjacent segment disease and proximal junctional kyphosis. Recent retrospective case series of vertebral body tethering have shown promising results with correction rates up to 70% but greater variability in outcomes compared with posterior spinal fusion.
