A 38-year-old woman with idiopathic kyphoscoliosis who received grade II PEO. A and B Preoperative reconstructed CT and radiographs showing scoliosis, Cobb (63°) and kyphosis, Cobb (85°). C and D Radiographs and reconstructed CT demonstrating the results of PEO with posterior spinal fusion; the scoliotic curve was corrected to 15° and the kyphotic curve to 25°. A 25-year-old woman with congenital kyphoscoliosis who underwent grade III PEO. E and F Preoperative reconstructed CT and radiographs showing scoliosis, Cobb (98°) and kyphosis, Cobb (112°). G and H Radiographs and reconstructed CT demonstrating the results of PEO with posterior spinal fusion: the scoliotic curve was corrected to 18° and the kyphotic curve to 20°. A 20-year-old woman with congenital kyphosis who received grade IV PEO. I and J Preoperative reconstructed CT and radiographs showing kyphosis Cobb, (166°). K and L Radiographs and reconstructed CT demonstrating the results of PEO with posterior spinal fusion and the titanium mesh implants for the front support of the vertebra; the kyphotic curve was corrected to 46°
