Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter interventional study compares posterior vertebral fusion with an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocol versus standard care in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Eligible patients are 11–17 years old who require posterior fusion and have consent from guardians. The trial aims to determine if ERAS can shorten hospital stay, reduce complications, and improve comfort after surgery while maintaining safety. It excludes patients with comorbidities that could affect recovery, prior spine surgery, or other factors that may confound outcomes. The sponsoring institution is Hospices Civils de Lyon, with participating sites in Amiens, Besançon, and Bron.
