Prospective Scoliosis Database Registry Studies
For over twenty years, the Harms Study Group has been the leading producer of research on spinal deformity treatment in children and adolescents. With the combined efforts from many of our members around the globe, we have created the largest database registry for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Along with our AIS registry, we also have prospective database registries for Celebral Palsy (CP), Scheuermann’s Kyphosis (PSK), and Marfan Syndrome.
