I wasn't sure where to post this, but someone suggested adding a thread in the surgical section, so hear it is. The Pediatric Spine Foundation is a newly-formed non-profit foundation that will focus education and research with regard mostly to fusionless techniques (tethering, etc.). Here is a link to the Pediatric Spine Foundation's website:
http://pediatricspinefoundation.org/
In addition to research and education, PSF hopes to raise awareness about fusionless alternatives for patients requiring surgery. In fact, there are already strides being made to use tethering (VBT) on more skeletally mature patients, and eventually perhaps even on adults.
There's too much for me to share here, so I encourage everyone to check out the website!!
