Abstract
In children with spinal deformity, implantation of the VEPTR device sufficiently corrected the deformity in all planes. During long-term follow-up, scoliosis increased slightly and was rather well controlled, whereas the implant system was not able to prevent deterioration of hyperkyphosis. Pelvic obliquity was well balanced and spinal lengthening was achieved during long-term follow-up.
