    A selective fusion strategy based on paravertebral muscle degeneration was evaluated for degenerative lumbar scoliosis surgery.

  • 2

    No cases of proximal junctional kyphosis or failure were observed in the study, indicating a successful surgical approach.

  • 3

    Fusion-degeneration concordance was achieved in 86.4% of patients, correlating with improved clinical outcomes.

  • 4

    The mean correction loss at final follow-up was minimal, with a maintenance rate of 88.2%, demonstrating effective alignment preservation.

  • 5

    This biology-guided surgical planning approach may reduce invasiveness and enhance outcomes, warranting further validation in multicenter trials.
