Abstract:ObjectivePostoperative coronal decompensation and less fusion level are dilemmas and the proper selective posterior fusion (SPF) strategy should be investigated. We proposed a parameter, modified S‐line, and aimed to investigate if the modified S‐line could predict postoperative coronal decompensation in patients with Lenke 5C adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).MethodsThis is a retrospective radiographic study and Lenke 5C AIS patients undergoing SPF during the period from September 2017 to June 2021 were i… Show more
