Figure 2

A 13-year-old girl with congenital scoliosis with defect of formation and segmentation. A-B: AP radiographs before treatment showed left thoracic scoliosis measured 98° and thoracic kyphosis measured 85°. C:Bending films showed right thoracic scoliosis only corrected to 90°. D:The left thoracic curve correction obtained with Halo-femoral traction was 24.1%. E-F:The major curve measured 50°after posterior spinal fusion with correction rate of 49.0%. The correction rate of kyphosis was 47.1%. G-H: AP and lateral radiographs at 18-month follow-up showed solid spinal fusion with a 53°left thoracic curve and a 45° thoracic kyphosis.
