Introduction and objective: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a structural spinal deformity characterized by 3D deformity with lateral curvature of ≧10° as measured by Cobb angle and is predominately seen in girlsaged between 10 and 16-years-old. Low bone mass has been found to be a significant prognostic factor for curve progression in AIS.In our hospital, computed assisted navigation is used for intraoperative pedicle screw placement...
