Does vertebral derotation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis cause hypokyphosis of the thoracic spine?
In the 3D simulation study, kyphosis was reduced after complete correction of the coronal and rotational deformity, but it was maintained after the coronal-only correction. These results proved the hypothesis that the vertebral derotation obtained by PS causes hypokyphosis of the thoracic spine.
This study demonstrated that the extent of amotosalen photodegradation can serve as an intrinsic actinometer which directly correlated with the level of pathogen inactivation.
