Abstract
PCOs and 3COs performed in patients with previously fused spines for idiopathic scoliosis are effective in achieving residual deformity correction. In cases of posterior fusions, where the patient has a mobile anterior column, PCOs should be considered over 3COs because of their decreased risk of blood loss and complications.
