In this 15-year-old female patient with spina bifida, residual sensorimotor function, and ambitions for professional sports, we performed a bone-on-bone correction and fusion using a pVCR technique under continuous neuromonitoring.
Thorough preparation—both for patient positioning and for the correction maneuver—is crucial.
Do you achieve the correction mainly through the implant, through the table, or by combining both?
At this point, I would also like to thank my mentor and friend, Prof. Henry Halm, who has supported me with invaluable advice for many years. His tireless guidance has enabled me to care for my patients with great confidence. Many are talented surgeons, but only very few are also true teachers and mentors—the highest level of our profession.
Thank you, Henry!
