Aim: To compare the deformity correction success of segmental pedicle screw and hybrid instrumentation for the treatment of Lenke type-1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves.

Material And Methods: Surgically treated Lenke type-1 scoliosis patients were retrospectively evaluated and data of 26 patients treated with hybrid instrumentation were included in the first group. In this group, all patients had been operated with hooks at the thoracic part and transpedicular screws at the lumbar part. The second group included 26 patients operated with all segment transpedicular screws. Cobb angles of curves, flexibility, apical vertebral translation (AVT), coronal body balance, kyphosis and lordosis were measured. All measurements and correction ratios were compared between the groups.

Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups for preoperative thoracic and lumbar Cobb angles, thoracic and lumbar curve flexibility, coronal balance, AVT, kyphosis and lordosis. However, the postoperative thoracic correction ratio was significantly different between the two groups.

Conclusion: Segmental screw instrumentation had better results for thoracic curve correction than hybrid instrumentation for the treatment of Lenke type-1 curves. Good results may be achieved with both techniques to provide sagittal balance.

Purpose: Clinical trials have studied the effects of curve magnitude and flexibility, age, and skeletal immaturity on the outcomes of VBT. No studies have assessed the effect of Lenke curve type on the outcomes of VBT. This study compares outcomes in patients who underwent VBT with Lenke type 1, 3, 5, and 6 curves.

Purpose: To devise a mathematical model for estimating the intraoperative lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) tilt angle using preoperative supine left side-bending (LSB) radiographs in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Lenke type 1 and 2 (non-AR curves), and to review its clinical and radiological outcomes.

Methods: The mathematical model for the adjusted LSB LIV tilt angle (α) measured preoperatively, was expressed as the sum of preoperative LSB LIV tilt angle (x) and LIV displacement angle (y) (α = x + y). This model was validated through inter-rater and intra-rater analysis in Part I of the study.

Background: Lenke curve types can vary in their response to treatment. We explored potential differences in reoperation rates, causes, and risk factors among patients with different Lenke types who underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Methods: We studied a multicenter database of patients with AIS who underwent index PSF at ≤21 years of age and had a minimum 2-year follow-up.
