Representative case. A 12-year-old girl who had adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (Lenke 1AN) was treated with the new technique. (A) Preoperative anteroposterior views showed a thoracic main curve of 60° and kyphosis of 12°. (B) Postoperative views. Excellent correction was maintained at the 2-year follow-up, where the main thoracic curve is 3°, and the kyphosis is 25°.
