Quantification of chest deformity correction in anterior and posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
While ASF and PSF both correct the coronal and axial chest deformation in AIS, and an increase in kyphosis correlates to a reduction of spinal intrusion. Neither approach alters the sagittal intrusion of the spine into the chest directly postoperatively. However, comparisons should be interpreted as descriptive given baseline differences.
