In vivo deformation of anatomically pre-bent rods in thoracic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract Some surgical strategies can maintain or restore thoracic kyphosis (TK); however, next-generation surgical schemes for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) should consider anatomical corrections. A four-dimensional correction could be actively achieved by curving the rod. Thus, anatomicall...
