Apex of deformity for three-column osteotomy. Does it matter in the occurrence of complications?

Background: Posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) is a challenging but effective technique for the correction of complex spinal deformity. However, it has a high complication rate and carries a substantial risk for neurologic injury.

Purpose: The aim was to test whether the apex of the deformity influences the clinical outcomes and complications in patients undergoing PVCR.
