Vertebral body tethering configurations: A finite element study on tether breakage risk and spinal biomechanics

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Objectives and questions: Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) presents a dynamic alternative to spinal fusion in scoliosis correction. However, tether breakage remains a significant clinical issue [ref:1]. This study employs a validated finite element (FE) model of the spine to evaluate tether [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
