IV iron for teens with scoliosis and low iron
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving intravenous (IV) iron before spine surgery helps teens with scoliosis who have low iron stores. The goal is to see if it can reduce the need for blood transfusions during surgery.
