Selective thoracic fusion is a good option for patients with AIS when the primary curve is thoracic, the lumbar curve is flexible, and fusion of the thoracic curve alone can achieve good spinal balance with a low likelihood of coronal or sagittal plane decompensation. The technical challenge with selective thoracic fusion is achieving a thoracic curve correction that complements the spontaneous lumbar curve correction so that coronal balance is maintained.

摘要

Selective thoracic fusion is a good option for patients with AIS when the primary curve is thoracic, the lumbar curve is flexible, and fusion of the thoracic curve alone can achieve good spinal balance with a low likelihood of coronal or sagittal plane decompensation. The technical challenge with selective thoracic fusion is achieving a thoracic curve correction that complements the spontaneous lumbar curve correction so that coronal balance is maintained.
