Episode Overview & Clinical Debate
In this sixth episode of the Treatise in Debate, Dr. Alberto Gotfryd hosts Dr. Alexandre Fogaça Cristante (President of the SBC and Full Professor at FMUSP) to discuss clinical and surgical management of Early-Onset Scoliosis (Chapter 28 of the SBC Treatise). They explore the physiological relationship between spinal growth and pulmonary alveolar development, strategies to prevent thoracic insufficiency syndrome, the C-EOS classification system, conservative treatment with serial casting and bracing, and modern growth-friendly spinal instrumentation (traditional, magnetically controlled MAGEC rods, and guided-growth systems) prior to definitive fusion.
