Figure 2

Radiographic films of a 40-year-old female patient with neglected scoliosis who underwent scoliosis curve correction and developed asymptomatic PJK after one year. (a) Preoperative anteroposterior (AP) X-ray views; (b) preoperative lateral X-ray view; and (c) a preoperative bone scan 3D model. (d, e) Immediate postoperative AP and lateral X-ray films and (f, g) AP and lateral X-ray films conducted after 1 year. The PJK angle after 1 year was 110 greater than immediate postoperative.
