Follow-up study reveals sacral slanting does not drive postoperative shoulder imbalance in Lenke 2A scoliosis, indicating distal spinal compensation over time.
Sacral slanting was not directly linked to the development of PSI. Despite the common postoperative elevation of the left shoulder, the shoulder height differences decreased over the follow-up period. Especially in cases with a right-sided tilted sacrum, the PSI demonstrated progressive improvement, with an associated increase in the rightward distal wedging angle, leading to distal adding-on.
