Abstract
In AIS patients examined 27 years or longer after surgery, restrictive ventilation defects were observed in 27.7%. Factors aggravating %FVC were large rib humps and large vertebral rotations. Three-dimensional correction of the spine and thoracic cage deformities is vital in order to avoid pulmonary function impairment many years after surgery.
