Lawrence Lenke, MD, and his Washington University orthopedic spinal surgery colleagues at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, including Keith Bridwell, MD, Scott Luhmann, MD, Tim Kuklo, MD, and Matthew Dobbs, MD have led the effort to treat and correct severe spinal deformities from a posterior-only surgical approach.
