Objectives
To define clinical and radiological risk factors for curve progression after skeletal maturity in moderate curves, and to determine the timing of post-maturity curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). These provide evidence for clinicians in formulating long-term follow-up protocol customizing to patient’s post-maturity progression risk.
