ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Spine Procedures Assisted With RoboTics And Navigation," is studying how the use of robotic technology and navigation can improve surgeries for children and young adults with spine deformities, such as scoliosis. The goal is to create a registry that collects important information about these surgeries across different hospitals. By doing this, researchers hope to better understand how these advanced tools can help improve outcomes and create a helpful guide for using this technology in the future.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be diagnosed with a spine deformity and scheduled for a surgery that involves robotics and navigation. They should be 21 years old or younger and be able to speak and read either English or Spanish. There are no specific exclusions, so many young patients with spine deformities may qualify. If a patient participates, they can expect to help contribute to valuable research that aims to improve surgical options for future patients with similar conditions.
