English Abstract:
  【Abstract】 Objectives: To investigate the influence of relationship between lowest instrumented vertebra(LIV) and sagittal stable vertebra(SSV) on the occurrence of distal junctional kyphosis(DJK) after posterior selective fusion in Lenke 1A scoliosis. Methods: A consecutive cohort of 153 patients with Lenke 1A scoliosis who had undergone posterior selective thoracic fusion was reviewed. SSV was defined as the last vertebra with inferior endplate touched by the posterior sacrum vertical line. According to the relationship between SSV and LIV, the patients were divided into two groups: LIV
