China74 participantsStarted 2018-01-01

Plain-language summary

The proper selection of the lowest instrumented vertebra (LIV) remains controversial in the surgical treatment of Scheuermann's disease and there is a paucity of studies investigating the clinical outcomes of fusion surgery when selecting the vertebra one level proximal to the sagittal stable vertebra (SSV-1) as LIV. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether SSV-1 could be a valid LIV for Scheuermann kyphosis (SK) patients with different curve patterns.
