Posterior-only lumbosacral hemivertebrae resection and fusion in paediatric scoliosis with minimum two  year follow-up

ConclusionsEarly posterior hemivertebrectomy with short fusion is effective in the treatment of lumbosacral hemivertebrae. It can achieve good coronal curve correction, sacral tilt, and trunk shift improvement. No neurological complications were found. Importantly, it can prevent secondary structural deformities and potentially save fusion level.
