Three-dimensional analysis confirms AVBT in skeletally immature patients results in asymmetric growth of the apical spine segments. The left (untethered) side length increased more than 3 × than the right (tethered) side length with differential effects observed within the vertebral bodies and disks, each correlating with overall patient height change.
