Vertebral body tethering · T11–L3
Tethering a Growing Spine
T1 to the pelvis, with the rib cage and shoulder blades that make a curve visible from the outside. A tether does not straighten a spine on the table. It places a rein on the convex side and lets the child's own growth do the correcting. Watch the operation play through; when it ends, drag to look around or press replay.
