Figure 2 Surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis using posterior instrumentation. (A and C) Preoperative anteroposterior and lateral standing radiographs of an adolescent girl with progressive idiopathic scoliosis Lenke type 6CN. (B and D) Postoperative standing radiograph of the patient after hybrid-type posterior instrumentation. Satisfactory correction, increased trunk height, and a well balanced spine are seen in both the sagittal and coronal planes.
