a-d. A 12 years old female patient with preoperative right-elevated shoulder fused to T1 level at the time of surgery (a and b). The cervical tilt was corrected from 13° (a) preoperatively, to 6° at the last follow-up (c). The T1 tilt decreased from 16° preoperatively, to 9° at the last follow-up (p < 0.001). The RSH changed from −1 mm (a) preoperatively, to 7 mm at the last follow-up (c). This patient had both good cervical balance and shoulder balance after the fusions of both PT and MT curves (c and d)
