Dr. Larson is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon who helps children with spinal conditions like scoliosis. She and her team use innovative techniques such as low-dose imaging and intraoperative computer-guided navigation to provide better options for pediatric patients.
Dr. Larson is a leading expert who is renowned for using new approaches to scoliosis surgery that preserve spinal motion and growth. She has led several research studies evaluating vertebral body tethering and posterior dynamic distraction. Under these protocols, she performed the first surgeries in the US for three non-fusion scoliosis devices under FDA protocols. She is also leading efforts to develop tools to help families understand the risks and benefits of new surgical techniques, so they can make informed decisions when deciding which approach is best for their child.
