  1. All results are shown as mean ± standard deviation. TL/L Thoracolumbar/lumbar, MT Main thoracic, PT Proximal thoracic, AVT Axial vertebral translation, AVR Apical vertebral rotation. A negative represents a translation towards the left for both apical translations, a left trunk shift and a right handed rotation when it comes to the apical vertebral axial rotation. P values are given in regards to the preoperative and their associated postoperative time point values. Paired Student’s t-test, * = significance was reached when p < 0.05
