Analysis of 3D data highlights several considerations for AIS patients undergoing TOF. Maximizing thoracic curve correction, leveling the LIV, and to a lesser extent, restoring kyphosis in the instrumented segment are the factors most likely to result in greater correction of the instrumented lumbar curve following thoracic-only fusions in Lenke 1-4 B and C curves.
