Operative Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis With Posterior Pedicle Screw-Only Constructs

Abstract

This is the largest (N = 114), consecutive series of North American patients with AIS treated with pedicle screws having a minimum of 3-year follow-up. The average curve correction was 68% for the main thoracic, 50% for the proximal thoracic, and 66% for the thoracolumbar/lumbar curve at final follow-up.
