Selection of the Lowest Instrumented Vertebra in Lenke‐5 AIS: A Case Study With at Least 5‐Year Follow‐Up

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
While distal fusion to LTV‐1 on upright radiographs yields satisfactory outcomes in a certain proportion of AIS patients, we hypothesized that the relaxed spinal posture in supine position could facilitate a more conservative fusion strategy. This study therefore investigated the utility of supine imaging for LIV selection in Lenke‐5 AIS.
