I'm starting a new thread on this since I don't think there has been one, at least not for some time. Here are the links hdugger (thank you!) dug up about it. From what I gather it has only been used on growing kids so far, but I'm trying to understand why this wouldn't be a nice option for the skeletally mature as well.

Here's an article that succinctly summarizes the current (at least up until a few years ago) thinking as to the reasons to go this way: http://www.scoliosisjournal.com/content/3/1/6
Does anyone have any more info on this or personal experience with it? Are other doctors performing it? What about for adults?
