“…They found no difference between rib-based and spine-based proximal anchors in terms of curve correction, proximal device migration, or change in quality of life as measured by EOS Questionnaire (EOSQ-24). 15 Similar to previous work by Myung et al, having more proximal anchors (5 or more in this series) was found to be protective against proximal device migration.…”

“…The results further indicate that there was no significant difference in the results of the 3 and 4 rib constructs, which corresponds with Vitale et al 16 point about putting 5 anchors. For this reason, we switched to 3 rib constructs in each side in the same clawing fashion, with 2 hooks proximally facing downward and a distal hook facing upward…”

“…Vitale et al 16 report a comparison between 73 patients with EOS who had rib-based proximal anchors and 33 who had spine-based proximal anchors. After an average follow-up of 1.16 years, no significant difference in spinal curve correction (29% vs 36% correction) was found between rib and spine anchor groups.…”

“…After an average follow-up of 1.16 years, no significant difference in spinal curve correction (29% vs 36% correction) was found between rib and spine anchor groups. 16 Despite this, many publications documented biomedical and clinical advantages of the rib hook construct. 7 The main biomechanical advantage is due to motion at rib hook interface.…”

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objectives: This study retrospectively evaluates the outcome of the surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis with proximal clawing rib fixation in hybrid growing-rod constructs. The study examines spinal deformity correction with spinal growth maintenance, and the complications associated with this technique. Method: A hybrid rib construct surgery with serial lengthening was utilized for the treatment of 71 patients. Mean age at surgery was 66.6 months and mean time for follow-up was 43.9 months. Results: The coronal Cobb angle in patients fell from 63.1° preoperatively to 51.6° at the last follow-up, with a correction of 16.8%. The sagittal Cobb angle fell from 66.7° preoperatively to 38° at the last follow-up, with a correction of 42.6%. Coronal balance fell from 22.8° preoperatively to 22.3°, and sagittal balance fell from 35.4 mm preoperatively to 24.39 mm. T1-S1 spine height increased from 248.7 mm preoperatively to 282.4 mm, with a mean change of 1.13 cm per year. No neurological complications were detected. Conclusion: Surgical management for early-onset scoliosis using proximal clawing rib fixation technique is a good choice in terms of safety, ease of placing the proximal anchors, ability to use more than one form of instrumentation, and a lower complication rate.
