Thoracic hypocyphosis and greater lumbar lordosis after correction of idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents and young adults may adversely affect overall sagittal alignment and increase the risk of proximal junctional kyphosis. The objective of this study is to analyze surgical corrections and maintenance of correction over time using modern posterior instrumentation strategies by comparing technical developments.
