Popis: STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data OBJECTIVE: To compare the use of spine-based vs. rib-based implants for the treatment of early onset scoliosis (EOS) in the setting of rib fusions. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Treatment for severe early-onset spinal deformity with rib fusions includes growing spine devices with proximal rib or spine anchors. The results of treatment, however, have not been compared between spine-based vs. rib-based proximal anchors. METHODS: 169 patients with rib fusions treated with rib-based or spine-based constructs and minimum 2-year follow-up were included. 16 patients were treated with proximal spine-based anchors and 153 with proximal rib-based devices (VEPTRs). 104 of the patients with rib-based fixation underwent thoracoplasty at the index surgery. We evaluated change in T1-T12 and T1-S1 height, coronal Cobb angle, kyphosis and number of lengthening/revision surgeries. RESULTS: Kyphosis increased a mean of 7 degrees in the rib-based group and decreased a mean of 20 degrees in the spine-based group (p=0.002). Major Cobb angle decreased in both groups (p
