Typical case from group B. Spinal radiographs for a 14-year-old male patient with a preoperative diagnosis of Lenke type 2 idiopathic scoliosis, which was corrected by soft tissue release only, combined with selective posterior segmental pedicle screws. a Preoperative anterior-posterior radiograph, showing a coronal Cobb angle of the main thoracic curve of 52°; b preoperative lateral radiograph, showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 4°; c anterior-posterior radiograph obtained 1 week postoperatively, showing a coronal plane Cobb angle of the major thoracic curve of 15° (correction rate, 71.2%; CCI, 1.12); d lateral radiograph obtained 1 week postoperatively, showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 8°; e anterior-posterior radiograph at 2 years postoperatively, showing a coronal plane Cobb angle of the main thoracic curve of 17°; and f lateral radiograph at 2 years postoperatively, showing a thoracic kyphosis angle of 9°
