Comparison between the lowest instrumented vertebrae L3 with the use of direct vertebrae rotation (DVR) and the lowest instrumented vertebrae L4 for non-DVR in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis Lenke 5C/6C: when LEV is L4
DVR is suitable for selecting L3 as the LIV in AIS Lenke 5C/6C compared to L4 in non-DVR. DVR preserved more segments without substantial complications during the follow-up visitations. Nevertheless, both groups will continue to be followed up to prevent adding-on post-surgical complications.
