Three-Dimensional Assessment of Vertebral Derotation in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Review of a Surgical Technique and Its Success in Achieving Derotation in the Instrumented and Uninstrumented Spine.

In Lenke Type 1/2 AIS patients undergoing surgical derotation and fusion, 3D imaging techniques captured improvements in rotation. Significant postoperative improvement was seen in T-AVR, TK, L-AVR, and rotation of the individual vertebrae T3-8/T11-L3. These pilot results warrant the study of 3D imaging in all patients with AIS and other scoliosis populations.
