Comparison of Anteroposterior to Posterior-Only Correction of Scheuermann's Kyphosis: A Matched-Pair Radiographic Analysis of 92 Patients.

Study Design: Retrospective radiographic benchmark study.

Objective: To evaluate the amount of instrumented correction obtained from a combined anterior/posterior (A/P) versus posterior-only (post-only) approach for Scheuermann's kyphosis.

Summary Of Background Data: An A/P approach was thought to optimize correction; however, instrumentation advances using pedicle screws allow treatment through an all-posterior approach.
