Summary

179 patients with congenital rib fusions treated with rib-based or spine-based constructs and minimum 2-year follow-up were reviewed. 19 patients were treated with proximal spine-based and 160 with proximal rib-based devices. Patients treated with growing rods achieved equivalent SAL to those treated with rib-based devices, while also achieving greater improvement to their spine deformity, as measured by postoperative kyphosis, and Cobb angle.
