Shilla Growth Guidance for Early-Onset Scoliosis: Results After a Minimum of Five Years of Follow-up

Conclusions: The Shilla growth guidance technique is a method of scoliosis treatment that allows spinal growth while controlling the deformity without scheduled repeated surgical procedures. The complication rate is high (73%) but acceptable, and children with a wide variety of diagnoses can be safely treated with the Shilla procedure. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
