Mean Values ±Standard Deviation are reported. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test was used to compare pre and postoperative values* Statistical significance p < 0,05, ns non-significant Cobb angle and Rotation index are expressed in °, Translation index in mm except forT9 and L3 TGDI θ category for which are reported the number of patients in each category I/II/III/IV/V AIS, Adolescent Idiopathic scoliosis; ADS, Adult Degenerative Scoliosis; AVR, Apical Vertebral Rotation; TI, Torsion Index; SCO, Spread of Coronal Offsets; CO, Coronal Offsets; GL, Gravity Line; TGDI, Transverse Gravitational Deviation Index.
