Improved Rehabilitation After Spinal Surgery in Adolescents
Improved Rehabilitation After Spinal Surgery in Adolescents
Impact of the OFA technique on postoperative recovery from adolescent spine surgery and the
 incidence of chronic postoperative pain.
RACAROFA is an observational, prospective study based on the hypothesis that the OFA
 technique effectively improves the long-term postoperative rehabilitation of adolescents and
 reduces the incidence of CPSP. A prospective French multicentre study on this topic is
 currently not feasible, as other multicentre studies (pain monitoring by the ANI, blood
 saving strategy) would interfere with potential recruitment.
