Spine Tethering For Curvature, Shorter Run

Vermont rates for HCPCS 0656T

An operation to straighten a curved spine by fixing anchors to the front of the spine bones and running a flexible cord between them. Tightening the cord pulls the curve straighter and lets it keep correcting while the spine is still growing, without locking the bones solid. This version covers a shorter run of spine bones.
