Abstract Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3D structural
disorder of the spine that has a significant impact on a person's physical and …

Selective fusion of thoracic and thoracolumbar/lumbar curves in adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis is a concept critically debated in the literature. While some surgeons strongly …

Study Design. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected multicenter series.
Objective. To evaluate the sagittal profile of surgically treated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis …

Background: Selective fusions of the structural curve remain a common treatment strategy
for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, yet long-term outcomes are not well-understood. The …

Study Design. A retrospective, multicenter study. Objective. To investigate the relationship
between postoperative shoulder balance and adding-on in Lenke type 2 adolescent …

Study Design. Analysis of multicenter, prospectively collected data. Objective. To determine
how selection of the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) relative to the stable vertebra (SV) …

Study Design. A retrospective cohort study comparing long-term clinical and radiographical
outcomes using selective thoracic instrumented fusion versus long instrumented fusion for …

Methods Using a prospective AIS database, Lenke 1 curves, with 2-year follow-up (n= 385)
were ranked by percent coronal correction. The top 15% or high correction group (> 80 …

Study Design. A retrospective, observational, and multicenter study. Objective. To identify
the ideal lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) to prevent distal adding-on after surgical …

Background: Non-surgical techniques for treating scoliosis frequently focus on realigning the
spine, typically by muscular relaxation or muscular or ligamentous stretching. However, such …
