Is the minimal invasive anterior rotation spondylodesis a real alternative to corset-treatment?

Introduction In light cases of scoliosis it is general consensus to apply therapy regimes consisting of physiotherapy and corset wearing. In border cases, between 40 and 50° curvature, opinions vary considerably. The corset supporters often target solely one dimension, specifically the lateral curvature. This is the case where the alternative surgical treatment is possible. In recent times precisely the ventral derotation spondylodesis (VDS) has been developed into a minimal invasive, reduced strain and extremely low risk procedure.
