Lateral Suspension Bending Casting in the Treatment of Early-onset Scoliosis
(1)Lateral suspension bending casting is an alternative method to elongation-derotation-flexion casting for achieving correction in early-onset scoliosis(2)Bending casts may be applied with minimal specialized equipment and without traction to the neck and head, making it an attractive option for patients with tenuous airways or in environments without a Cotrel table.(3)Bending casts may be applied with waterproof material, for improved patient hygiene and caregiver satisfaction.(4)This method of casting is ideal in long, sweeping thoracolumbar curves with an apex below T8.
