Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: With modern instrumentation, significant coronal correction of a structural spinal deformity is possible. A side effect of powerful segmental correction of AIS with pedicle screws is induction of hypokyphosis in the thoracic spine. In an effort to mitigate the “hypokyphosing” effect of pedicle screws, surgeons may choose to use rods with higher yield strength in order to pull the spine dorsally into kyphosis with a contoured rod.
