Spine surgery for congenital spine curve
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific type of spine surgery to correct a severe curve that is present from birth. If you qualify, the surgery aims to realign the spine and improve posture and pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must be older than 10 years.
- The spine curve must be congenital, meaning it was present at birth.
- No prior spine surgery is allowed.
- You need to have had CT or MRI scans before the surgery.
- You must be willing to attend follow-up visits for 2 years after the surgery.

This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
This study looks at how well planned surgery corrects neck (cervical) deformities and how the results change over time. It mainly involves standard pre- and follow-up imaging and study questionnaires to compare clinical and X-ray outcomes.
This trial tests a new surgery to correct severe spine curvature (scoliosis) in young children. It aims to fix the curve while allowing the spine to keep growing.
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.
This study follows children aged 3–10 who need surgery for a specific type of spine bone shape problem (hemivertebra). It aims to track outcomes after the operation and how well follow-up is completed.
