A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the relationship between sagittal spinal parameters and postoperative shoulder imbalance in adolescents diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis who have undergone selective thoracolumbar fusion surgery. The research aims to identify preoperative factors that may predict the occurrence of shoulder imbalance after surgery, which is a significant complication affecting patient satisfaction and mental health. By analyzing radiographic data collected preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and during follow-up, the study seeks to enhance surgical decision-making and improve outcomes for patients. The findings could provide insights into the optimal selection of surgical techniques based on individual patient characteristics.
