An intravertebral device for modulating vertebral growth without changing
spinal mobility or compressing the intervertebral disc. By implanting the
device around the vertebral growth plate, on the convex side of the
curvature, a compression is induced on one side of the growth plate
during the vertebral growth. This local growth modulation decreases
significantly the vertebral wedging and corrects the global deformity of
the spine. The device provides a minimally invasive and fusionless way of
correcting spinal curvatures while preserving the intervertebral disc.
