3D planning study for scoliosis surgery decisions
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how 3D measurements and biomechanical (how the spine moves/loads) information can help guide decisions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery. It may help your team plan treatment more accurately when you’re scheduled for tethering or selective fusion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
- Your age is between 10 and 35 years old
- Your surgery is planned at KU Leuven using vertebral body tethering or selective fusion
- You can (and your parent/guardian can, if you’re a minor) give informed consent
- You have not had a previous fusion or previous vertebral body tethering surgery

This study uses a computer model to help surgeons decide which vertebra to fuse in teens with a specific type of scoliosis (Lenke 1A or 5C). The goal is to make the decision more precise and improve outcomes.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
This trial tests a 3D depth camera to measure spinal curves in teens with scoliosis. It may help avoid repeated X-rays while tracking your curve.
This study looks at genetic and physical markers to better predict and treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It may help tailor care to each patient.
This study compares a less invasive surgical approach with the usual back surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (a sideways spine curve that starts in the teen years). It aims to see which approach works better and is easier to recover from.
This study looks at a surgical method (an “anterior vertebral body tether”) to help straighten the spine in growing children with certain types of scoliosis. It aims to see how well the tether system works over the next 2 years, compared with expected progress without the surgery.
