ASC (Anterior Scoliosis Correction) by Drs. ABC is a proven surgical technique, pioneered and patented by Drs. ABC.
100% paraspinal (back) muscle sparing surgery for scoliosis
The Future of Scoliosis Surgery – NOW!
ASC by Drs. ABC is a Multi-Year, Multi-Generational Advancement in Scoliosis Surgery.
Where VBT and metal rods fail,
ASC by Drs. ABC succeeds.
VBT has high revision rates
Posterior Metal Rod Fusion 100% destroys back muscle function
See the peer-reviewed DATA – We published on our most severe cases (>65 to 90 degrees) which showed 92% to 96% clinical success at least 2 years from surgery, and on average had 78% corrections with very low revision rates, outperforming VBT and Metal Rod data.
Age 4 to 55, and Curve Sizes 40° to 95°

“ASC by Drs. ABC is our multi-year, multi-generational advancement of our original techniques of Anterior Fusion, VBT, and Stapling since 2013, which we now find vastly superior to posterior metal rod fusion in our practice. Because of our pioneering evolution (four U.S. Technique Patents) of ASC by Drs.ABC, there’s virtually no curve that in our opinion wouldn’t be better served with ASC by Drs. ABC over posterior metal rod fusion which by design destroys 100% of the functionality of your back muscles” — Dr. A.
This map shows a world-view of the hundreds of cases of ASC by Drs. ABC. All of the locations are general and do not include any personal information. Privacy is our main focus over accuracy. Locations may be in a generic spot, this includes public areas such as parks, business districts, or waterways.
Recorded April 2023. This interview is for educational purposes and covers information provided by Dr. Darryl Antonacci regarding ASC by Drs. ABC and the advancements they have pioneered. It presents the Concepts and Data supporting the use of ASC by Drs. ABC over Posterior Metal Rods, VBT or hybrids.

In 2013 Drs. ABC coined the term ASC by Drs. ABC to distinguish their modified anterior scoliosis correction from what they considered was the severely limited first-generation techniques of VBT, as well as posterior metal rod fusion surgery which destroys your back muscles. Now well after over 830 cases and multi-generational advancements of this back muscle sparing surgery, our peer reviewed published data is proving the point: the future of VBT and Metal Rods is dim, but the future for ASC by Drs. ABC is revolutionary in the world of Scoliosis Surgery. Watch Dr. Antonacci’s 2023 interview on the concepts and success of ASC by Drs. ABC.
Dr. Antonacci, is acknowledged as the premier scoliosis surgeon in the world for this technique and is years ahead of any of his contemporaries. So much so that Dr. Antonacci’s patients come from all over the world (see map below). About 18-20% of his practice are international patients, and 70% of his patients come from outside our local tri-state NY-NJ-PA area. Patients are not the only ones coming now. Drs. ABC have hosted some of the most well-regarded scoliosis surgeons in the World who have visited to watch Dr. Antonacci perform his ASC surgery (Surgeons from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Poland, and Greece to name a few).
Among his many awards and recognitions, Dr. Antonacci has also twice been awarded the prestigious Russell A. Hibbs Award from the Scoliosis Research Society and continues to be a preeminent leader in the field of spinal surgery.
Unlike posterior metal rod surgery which 100% scars your back muscles and destroy their function, Anterior Scoliosis Correction by Drs. ABC 100% saves your back muscles and function. ASC by Drs. ABC can be performed on individuals aged 4 to 55 with curves measuring from 40 to over 90 degrees.
ASC by Dr. ABC gets better corrections with greater clinical success (See our Data). Patients with severe curvatures of the spine or stiff and mature spines may be candidates for ASC by Drs. ABC just as much as young patients with flexible scoliosis.
ASC by Drs. ABC is less invasive and muscle-sparing, with lower blood loss (<1-2% transfusion rates), negligible infection rates, and optimized recovery times compared to published Metal Rod results.
Additionally, ASC by Drs. ABC preserve the growth, mobility, and flexibility of our patients’ spines. At six to eight weeks, most patients are released to sports, and live life unencumbered by a rigidly stiff spine (like they would with posterior metal rod spinal fusion). If you’re interested in learning if ASC is the ideal solution for you or your child, submit your case for review. Any doubts, watch Dr. Antonacci’s interview above.
Drs. ABC have vast experience in both Adult and Pediatric spinal surgery. This “Think Tank” approach and elite background is how Drs. ABC achieved what no other group was able to and pioneered ASC. Review our before and after-surgery photos and get to know us.
If you’ve been diagnosed with scoliosis and your doctor recommended posterior metal rod surgery or VBT, don’t wait, get your case reviewed right away by us.
Drs. M. Darryl Antonacci, Randal R. Betz and Laury A. Cuddihy are world-class scoliosis surgeons treating local New Jersey families along with patients with scoliosis from all over the world.
“Over the last six or seven years we’ve been developing a surgery that will change the way scoliosis is treated in the future,” said Dr. Antonacci.
Dr. M. Darryl Antonacci, the leader in minimally invasive and complex spine surgery, received the highest honor, the Bishop’s Award, from Saint Peter’s Healthcare System in Spring 2019.
The first operation in Poland without stiffening the spine of a child with scoliosis was carried out on Monday at the University Children’s Clinical Hospital in Białystok. This method allows the patient to return to physical activity in six weeks. An 11-year-old girl was operated.
Christian’s parents were determined to find another solution and began a nationwide search. That’s when they discovered New York surgical group, the Institute for Spine and Scoliosis. Flexible Scoliosis Surgery Brings New Hope To Teen.
