Dr. Jaren Riley | Sophia Clem Patient Testimonial

Sophia Clem, diagnosed with scoliosis, was referred to Jaren Riley, MD, board-certified pediatric orthopedic spine surgeon with Rocky Mountain Pediatric OrthoONE. She met the criteria for a new approach to scoliosis, which is called Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT). The advantage of this surgery is that it preserves growth, flexibility, and may result in continuous correction of the spine over time while not stiffening the spine. Sophia was the first patient in Colorado to have VBT surgery.
