Impact of growth on spinal biomechanics and tether force in VBT: a simulation study
The simulated biomechanical data provides insight into the forces exerted on the spine during various physiological movements and the remaining growth. They are consistent with previously published clinical data and underlie the finding that age at surgery or residual growth doesn't greatly affect tether forces. During growth, however, intervertebral compression forces increase.
