Effect of selective and nonselective fusion on cervical sagittal alignment in Lenke 5 scoliosis
While postoperative C2 to C7 lordosis increased significantly in patients who underwent selective fusion, the straight of CSA did not change in the nonselective group. Since this may be a risk factor for cervical pathologies in older ages in the nonselective group, care should be taken not to reduce TK in patients with nonselective fusion.
