Is convex derotation equally effective as concave derotation for achieving adequate correction of selective lenke & #39;s Type- 1 scoliosis ?

Conclusion: The study results showed similar sustained satisfactory correction of flexible Lenke's type 1 scoliotic curves irrespective of the derotation maneuver used. Adequate correction, thereby restoring balance was predominantly perceived among the entire sample. Hence, convex derotation can be considered equally effective as that of concave derotation for achieving adequate correction of selective Lenke's Type-1 scoliosis.
