Range of surgical strategies for individual adolescent idiopathic scoliosis cases: evaluation of a multi-centre survey.

The survey highlighted differences in the surgical strategy depending on the Lenke curve type, the direction of the surgical approach, and the surgeon. The main discrepancies between the surgeons were found for Lenke 1, 5, and 6 curves, and consistencies for Lenke 2, 3, and 4. The documented discrepancies indicate the remaining open questions in the surgical treatment and understanding of scoliosis biomechanics.
