Enhanced Capacity for Spontaneous Correction of Lumbar Curve in the Treatment of Major Thoracic-Compensatory C Modifier Lumbar Curve Pattern in Idiopathic Scoliosis.

The article presents a medical research on spontaneous correction of lumbar curve in the treatment of major thoracic-compensatory C modifier lumbar curve pattern in idiopathic scoliosis. The study presented that selective thoracic fusion for Lenke Type 1C or 2C idiopathic scoliosis curves can either enhance or impair the capacity for spontaneous compensation and correction of the lumbar curve. It reveals that the use of cantilever bending technique facilitates 3-dimensional control.
