Coronal Imbalance after Selective Posterior Thoracic Fusion in Patients with Lenke 1 and 2 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

<div>A 13-year-old female with Lenke 1AN adolescent idiopathic scoliosis underwent selective posterior thoracic fusion from T3 to T12. The preoperative coronal balance of -3mm (a) worsened to 21mm immediately after surgery (b), but recovered to 2mm at the final follow-up (c). LIV disc angle increased from 0.5° in the early postoperative period to 5.6° at the final follow-up.</div>
