About

Impact of the OFA technique on postoperative recovery from adolescent spine surgery and the incidence of chronic postoperative pain.

Full description

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.
