Revision spine deformity in pediatrics

Pediatric spinal deformities requiring revision surgery are relatively uncommon to encounter and treat. These can, however, be challenging and require careful planning and execution. Functional impact of residual/ worsening spinal deformities should be carefully analyzed and the risks/ expected benefits should be discussed with patient/ families in detail.Spinal osteotomies may be a valuable tool and surgeons should be familiar/ comfortable with common osteotomy techniques for these cases.
