Lumbar hemivertebra resection.

Primary tabs

Bollini, Gérard Docquier, Pierre-Louis [UCL] Viehweger, Elke Launay, Franck Jouve, Jean-Luc

Excision of a lumbar hemivertebra is safe and provides stable correction when combined with a short-segment fusion. Surgery should be performed as early as possible to avert the development of severe local deformities and prevent secondary structural deformities that would require a more extensive fusion later.
