Selective Direct Vertebral Rotation Instrumentation for the Correction of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Lenke 5 Curve
Selective DVR spinal instrumentation effectively corrects AIS Lenke 5C. However, extended fusion demonstrates more efficient correction and greater improvement in the patient's cosmetic appearance, including better thoracic curve correction, rib hump correction, and shoulder balance, compared with short-level fusion.
