Influence of implant density and flexibility index on curve correction after scoliosis surgery

ConclusionWith an implant density over 70%, satisfactory surgical treatment can be achieved in idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis. No statistical significance between the high-density (88 –100%) and the low-density (73–87%) group could be verified in curve correction, ICU stay and complications.
