Pulmonary Function Improves in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis who Undergo Posterior Spinal Fusion Regardless of Thoracoplasty: A Mid-Term Follow-Up

Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to determine, in a mid-term follow-up 5 years or more after surgery, the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and expiratory flow in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who underwent posterior spinal f...
