Response to Letter to the Editor Regarding “Deriving a Novel Score for the Stratification of Risk Progression in Early-onset Scoliosis: A Multicenter Initiative”

Purpose of review The aim of this review is to provide the reader with the most updated available information so that it can be helpful in the approach of patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS). Recent findings While confirming the efficacy and safety of classic techniques for the treatment of EOS such as traditional growing rods or Mehta casting, recent research suggests that there is room for improvement with less invasive techniques. Summary The most important goal when treating patients with EOS should be to promote rib cage expansion and lung development. Different techniques have been described and may be used depending on the specific patient's characteristics.
