Abstract
This study aimed to assess the variability in treatment decision-making for patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS), a condition lacking clear treatment algorithms. Clinical and radiographic vignettes of EOS cases were presented to 26 experienced spine surgeons. Results revealed consensus on the need for surgery in most cases, but considerable variability in the choice of treatment type, construct location, and use of thoracotomy. While the vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib was the preferred treatment, agreement on other treatment options was limited. These findings highlight the need for standardized approaches in managing EOS to improve consistency and outcomes
