    A total of 38 patients aged 12-17 years with Lenke types 1-3 scoliosis underwent a specific surgical intervention.

  • 3

    Surgical techniques included discapophysectomy, intraoperative halo traction, and posterior multi-support metal fusion.

  • 4

    Results indicated a positive correlation between thoracic kyphosis and sagittal vertical axis, and a negative correlation with sacral slope.
