PSF is a standard procedure that combines posterior instrumentation with bone grafting and\/or bone substitutes to enhance fusion. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate and compare the post-operative safety and efficiency of stand-alone bioactive glass putty and granules in posterior spine fusion for scoliosis in a paediatric cohort. A total of 43 children and adolescents were included retrospectively. Each patient\u2019s last follow-up was performed at 24 months and included clinical and radiological evaluations. Pseudarthrosis was defined as a loss of correction measuring &gt;10\u00b0 of Cobb angle between the pre-operative and last follow-up measurements. There was no significant loss of correction between the immediate post-operative timepoint and the 24-month follow-up. There was no sign of non-union, implant displacement or rod breakage. Bioactive glass in the form of putty or granules is an easily handled biomaterial but still a newcomer on the market. This study shows that the massive use of bioactive glass in posterior fusion, when combined with proper surgical planning, hardware placement and correction, is effective in providing good clinical and radiological outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10020398","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T03:56:07Z","timestamp":1676865367000},"page":"398","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Safety and Efficacy of Stand-Alone Bioactive Glass Injectable Putty or Granules in Posterior Vertebral Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic and Non-Idiopathic Scoliosis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8480-246X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aur\u00e9lien","family":"Courvoisier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"TIMC, University Grenoble Alpes, 38000 Grenoble, France"},{"name":"Grenoble Alps Scoliosis and Spine Center, Grenoble Alps University Hospital, 38043 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2004-9840","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marie-Christine","family":"Maximin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grenoble Alps Scoliosis and Spine Center, Grenoble Alps University Hospital, 38043 Grenoble, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4383-3470","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alice","family":"Baroncini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics, RWTH Uniklinik Aachen, 52074 Aachen, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1899","DOI":"10.21608\/edj.2021.62881.1503","article-title":"Assessment Of The Sticky Bone Preparation Of BioActive bone Glass in Grafting Critical-Sized Surgical Bony Defects","volume":"67","author":"Shawky","year":"2021","journal-title":"Egypt.
