Implant Distribution Versus Implant Density in Lenke Type 1 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Does the Position of the Screw Matter?

Increased ID for the entire construct, the entire convex side, the entire concave side, and within each spinal zone was associated with improved percent Cobb correction. The ability to achieve coronal balance was not statistically influence by ID. The results of this study support that increasing ID along the entire length of the construct improves percent Cobb correction.
