Radiographic Predictors of Lateral Translation in Patients With Residual Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Thoracolumbar/Lumbar Curves: A Focus on L3 Lateral Translation
Facet joint instability, L4 tilt ≥20.5°, and L3 cranial vertebral bridging are predictive radiographic factors for L3 lateral translation in patients with residual AIS. Thus, patients exhibiting these characteristics require consistent follow-up or early surgical intervention before lateral translation occurs.
