Under certain conditions for two simultaneous curvatures, the procedure, in which correcting one of the curvatures can result in the automatic correction of another curvature, is called selective fusion, attracting spine surgeons’ interest because of more movement in the spine. However, the majority of surgeons have not used this technique due to the lack of sufficient information. The current study aimed to totally investigate selective thoracolumbar/lumbar fusion and to provide accurate information on outcomes and complications of surgery for spinal surgeons. This technique can also help spinal surgeons have a better selection of patients ’ surgical procedures. Level of evidence: IV UR - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_22250.html L1 - https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_22250_9e24b35555c66cbaa0553b9ae1a8d985.pdf ER -
