A 15-year-old female with idiopathic severe scoliosis (Lenke 1AN). The preoperative Cobb angle of the main curve was 93° and TS was 36 mm (A, B). The last touching vertebra of CSVL on her spine 3D reconstruction was L3 (C, D). She underwent posterior surgery from T3-L3. After three years of follow-up, the correction rate was 62.4% and TS was 8 mm (E, F). The correction remained stable and the coronal balance was improved. CSVL, center sacral vertical line. TS, trunk shift
