The Tether™ Offers Patients a New Option for Spine Surgery

Shriners Children's is a leader in innovative spine care. Our doctors developed patented vertebral body tethering (VBT) techniques that offer another fusionless option for scoliosis. VBT uses a strong, flexible cord to gently pull on the outside of a scoliosis curve to straighten the spine. Scoliosis progression is stopped, the spine is realigned and can continue to grow, and flexibility is maintained.
