AB252. SOH26AB_0031. Balancing curve correction and complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis of Mehta casting in early-onset scoliosis %K %X Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) presents a unique therapeutic challenge, requiring interventions that achieve deformity correction while preserving spinal and thoracic growth. Among non-surgical modalities, Mehta elongation-derotation-flexion casting has demonstrated substantial efficacy in curve modulation; however, the safety profile and spectrum of complications associated with this approach remain poorly characterised. We aimed to address this deficit. %U https://map.amegroups.org/article/view/11219 %V 10 %P %@ 2616-2725
