What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a registry for pediatric spine surgeries that utilize robotics and navigation, as well as patient-specific rods. By collecting and analyzing data from various participating institutions, the study seeks to enhance understanding of these advanced surgical techniques in treating spine deformities. The ultimate goal is to establish an educational framework that informs best practices and improves surgical outcomes for pediatric patients. The study focuses on conditions such as idiopathic scoliosis and spondylolisthesis among patients up to 21 years of age.
