Our study shows that Ponte's osteotomies are safe and effective in surgical treatment of AIS, SK, and AdS. Blood loss and execution time per osteotomy are significantly smaller in the SK group compared to AIS and AdS. No significant differences were noted in terms of complications between the three groups.
