Stiffness-Related Disability Following Surgical Correction for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Comparative Analysis According to the Lowest Instrumented Vertebra Level
Various degrees of SRD occurred after spinal fusion for AIS. The SRDI was significantly correlated with the HRQOL measurements. The SRDI score was highest in patients with the LIV at L4 when compared to those with other LIV levels. Fusion can be safely extended to L3 without significantly increasing SRD.
