A 15-year-old female patient visited the hospital for progressive spinal deformity. She showed a rip hump and lumbar prominence. The whole-spine anterior–posterior image showed 64° of scoliosis deformity, and the Risser stage was evaluated as Grade 4 (a). Considering age, Risser stage, and scoliosis angle, spine correction was performed. The surgery was performed using the minimally invasive scoliosis surgery (MISS) technique, and fusion was performed using the facet fusion technique and allograft bone chips. Postoperatively, the deformity was corrected from 64° to 13° (b). On a whole-spine anterior–posterior image taken 2 years after surgery, the corrected scoliosis deformity was maintained at 12°, and reduction loss, segmental fracture, and decompensation were not identified (c)
