The potential risk of spinal cord injury from pedicle screw at the apex of adolescent idiopathic thoracic scoliosis: Magnetic resonance imaging evaluation

The pedicle screw placement in scoliosis correction at the apex underlies potential risk for neurological injury. This research is to investigate the relative position of spinal cord at the apex in idiopathic thoracic scoliosis and to explore the risk of spinal cord injury from pedicle screw at the apex.
