Thoracic Curve Correction Ratio: An Objective Measure to Guide against Overcorrection of a Main Thoracic Curve in the Setting of a Structural Proximal Thoracic Curve

Purpose: The correction of double thoracic (Lenke 2) curves has been associated with higher rates of postoperative shoulder imbalance that may compromise long-term outcomes following spinal deformity correction. A number of methods have been proposed to mitigate this risk, though no accepted standar...
