Technical aspects of performing a hemivertebrectomy for adolescent congenital scoliosis: Illustrative case
This case highlights the challenges of delayed HV detection and the importance of advanced surgical techniques for deformity correction. Stereotactic navigation, modular instrumentation, and careful execution of a hemivertebrectomy facilitated optimal correction while preserving mobility in adjacent spinal regions. A tailored approach is critical for long-term stability and functional outcomes. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25244.
