Observational Study
3D Radiological Outcomes and Quality of Life of Patients with Moderate Idiopathic Scoliosis Treated with Anterior Vertebral Growth Modulation vs Bracing: 2-Year Follow-up.
Observational cohort study. ⋯ Even though these two cohorts are not fully comparable, bracing seems to control progression for a significant portion of patients with moderate scoliosis curves, while AVBGM significantly corrected and maintained 3D deformity parameters at 2-year follow-up.

Basic experimental study. ⋯ M1 Mφ-derived IL-6 promotes the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells, which may be a pathway in which Mφs regulate the osteogenic differentiation of LF cells.

Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ⋯ The ATP access offers generous bilateral prepsoas surgical windows to L1-S1 intervertebral disks, allowing for a safe anterior column release, decompression, instrumentation, and fusion.
