This information could potentially guide patient counseling of expectations regarding postoperative outcome and assist surgeons in optimizing shoulder balance correction during arthrodesis. Methods: This study will be a retrospective, chart review of patients treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with spinal fusion at a single center. We will be collecting radiographic measurements to assess pre- and postoperative spinal, thoracic, and shoulder alignments. Research team members will individually collect data each patient’s imaging with at minimum 2 years of postoperative radiographic assessment. Data will be stored in REDCap.
