Typical case from group A. Spinal radiographs for an 18-year-old female patient with Lenke type 4 idiopathic scoliosis, which was corrected using a multilevel Ponte osteotomy procedure combined with posterior segmental selective pedicle screw implantation. a Preoperative posterior-anterior radiograph showing a coronal Cobb angle of the major thoracic curve of 71°; b preoperative lateral radiograph showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 9°; c anterior-posterior radiograph at 1 week postoperatively, showing a coronal plane Cobb angle of the major thoracic curve of 19° (correction rate, 73.2%; CCI, 4.73); d lateral radiograph at 1 week postoperatively, showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 17°; e anterior-posterior radiograph at 2 years postoperatively, showing a coronal plane Cobb angle of the main thoracic curve of 20°; and f lateral radiograph at 2 years postoperatively, showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 18°
