Hi all
I found this non-fusion alternative called Orthobiom for skeletally immature patients. According to the pdf file I found, the main advantage is that it allows growth of spine and prevents future surgical intervention (e.g. removal of hardware etc) that is a problem with fusion procedures even till today.
The pdf file I found: http://www.zrinski.de/SPINAL%20COLUM...ber%202009.pdf
I believe there is a lot more information out there, though I haven't had the time to research fully. If you find anything noteworthy, please post it up here too so we can all help each other. Thank you!
