“Disc Degeneration Below Arthrodesis in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis at a minimum 10 year follow-up.”
Principal Investigator: Baron S. Lonner, M.D.
Co-Investigators: Joshua D. Auerbach, MD; Randal R. Betz, MD; Kenneth Cheung, MD; You-Qiang Song, PhD; Kristin E. Kean, BA
Agency: AOSpine Research Commission, Hansjorg Wyss Foundation start up research grant award
Amount of Support: $50,000 x 1 year
The goal of this project is to evaluate potential radiographic and genetic risk factors for degenerative disc disease (DDD)below long fusions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using MRI to assess the integrity of the free, caudal discs, as well as genetic profiling to assess predisposition.
