Fig. 10From: Plasticity of vertebral wedge deformities in skeletally immature patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis after posterior corrective surgeryThe changes of the vertebral height ratio (VHR) of the vertebrae other than the end vertebrae and vertebrae in the apical region (n = 25) between 1 week and 1 year postoperatively. VHR of the vertebrae other than the end vertebrae and vertebrae in the apical region at the middle and posterior part did not change postoperatively; however, VHR at the anterior part increased.
