Advanced Pediatric Spinal Deformity Fellowship

The Advanced Pediatric Spine Deformity Fellowship at the NewYork-Presbyterian Och Spine Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is the only fellowship of its kind in the country. Dr. Michael Vitale is the director of this fellowship along with Co-Director Dr. Lawrence Lenke.

Currently, approximately 320 pediatric spinal deformity cases are performed at this institution annually. The fellow will have broad exposure to the operative and non-operative care of patients with congenital, neuromuscular, syndrome and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and will gain experience in techniques ranging from Mehta casting, growing rods, use of a halo, VEPTR, MAGEC, PSIF, SPO, and VCR. There will also be an opportunity to gain experience in the management of pediatric cervical spine disorders through a partnership with Pediatric Neurosurgery.
