Abstract

Objective: To report the clinical and radiological result after corrective reduction follow by Lenke’s technique at adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patient. Subject and method: During the time from 2009 to 2022 at the Department of Spine Surgery, 108 Military Central Hospital, there were 120 patients adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, who was operated by segmental posterior instrumentation and reduction by Lenke technique. Result: The mean age of the patients was 15.4 years. The average follow-up period was 43.52 months. In the coronal plane, the pre-operative mean Coob angle 56.78 degree was corrected to 12.58 degree showing a correction rate of 75.43% with p<0.001. In the sagittal plane, the pre-operative mean thoracic kyphosis angle 18.87 degree was corrected to 23.16 degree. The shoulder balance pre-operative mean 0.92cm was corrected to 0.3cm with p<0.001. There was a little complication during operation and post-operation
