a 17-year-old boy with NF1 related thoracolumbar kyphoscoliosis associated with CCI and vertical straight morphology of upper hemi curve (thoracolumbar type) (a, b). Over correction maneuvers were avoided for main curve. Fine-tuning using concave compression/convex distraction and coronal rod bending in upper hemi-curve was performed to increase the coronal compensation, resulting in opposite tilt of UIV and LIV with similar magnitude (c, d). At 2-year-follow up, the CBD got further improvement to 0 cm (e, f)
