Core Tip	We reviewed 99 pediatric patients treated for scoliosis with a single-rod hybrid technique. They belonged in three groups: Group A included 62 patients with complex deformities and low body mass index (BMI) associated with medical co-morbidities increasing the risk of cardiac, respiratory, neurological complications and intra-operative blood loss; group B included 21 patients treated with growing rod lengthenings who underwent spinal fusion; group C included 16 patients with moderate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, low BMI, and severe eczema at risk of wound or systemic infection. The single-rod technique has achieved and maintained at follow-up good deformity correction with low surgical time, blood loss, and surgical morbidity.
