【 摘 要 】

PurposePreoperative directionality of shoulder tilting seems to be independent of the radiographic features of proximal thoracic (PT) curve in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. To date, no study had investigated the mechanisms underlying the variety of preoperative directionalities of shoulder tilting in AIS patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences of radiographic features between Lenke type 2 (double thoracic curve) AIS patients with different preoperative directionalities of shoulder tilting.
