Mean follow-up period was 32.2 (range, 24\u201364) months. Diagnosis of the patients included congenital kyphosis in 11 patients, post-tuberculosis kyphosis in 3 patients and neurofibromatosis in 3 patients. The sagittal plane parameters (local kyphosis angle, lumbar lordosis, sagittal vertical axis, pelvic tilt, sacral slope and pelvic incidence) were measured in the preoperative and the early postoperative periods and during the last follow-up on the lateral radiographs.\nResults\nThe mean preoperative localized kyphosis angle was 121.8\u00b0 (range, 101\u00b0\u2013149\u00b0). The mean local kyphosis angle (LKA) was 71.5\u00b0 at postoperatively evaluation (p &lt; 0.05). Complications were detected in 12 patients (70.6%) with spinal shock in 4 patients, hemothorax in 3 patients, postoperative infection in 2 patients, dural laceration in 2 patients, neurological deficit in 2 patients (1 paraplegia and 1 root injury), the shifted cage in 2 patients and rod fracture in 2 patients. Neurological events occurred in six patients (35%) with temporary neurological deficit in 5 patients and permanent neurological deficit in 1 patient.\nConclusion\nPVCR is an efficient and a successful technique for the correction of SAK. However, it can lead to a large number of major complications in SAK greater than 100\u00b0.\nLevel of evidence\nLevel IV, therapeutic study.\nER -\n\nKeywords\n\n\n\tPosterior vertebral column
