Objective: To determine whether the last touched vertebra (LTV) on supine radiographs is suitable for the lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) correction surgery.
Methods: In total, 57 patients were included in the study following posterior instrumenta tion and fusion. The average follow-up period was 2.2 years. Patients were classified into 4 groups according to the relationship of the location of LIV, LTV, and the last substantially touched vertebra (LSTV) on upright radiographs and the LTV on supine radiographs. In group 1, the upright LTV and supine LTV were the same. Group 1 was subdivided into group 1A and group 1B according to whether the LTV and LSTV were different or the same, respectively. In group 2, the upright LTV was selected as the LIV, whereas in group 3, the supine LTV was selected as the LIV. The baseline characteristics and the preoperative and postoperative radiographic/clinical outcomes of the groups were analyzed.
Results: No differences were found in the preoperative clinical and radiographic baseline characteristics of the 4 groups except the LIV-central sacral vertical line distance. The immediate, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year postoperative outcomes were not significantly different among the 4 groups. One patient (4.3%) in group 1A experienced radiographic adding on without clinical symptoms. No patients underwent revision surgery.
Conclusion: The group in whom the LIV was selected as the LTV on supine x-rays showed similar postoperative radiographic and clinical results to other groups. The LTV on preop erative supine radiographs is acceptable as the LIV in AIS surgery to maximize motion segments
