There is a relationship between corrective surgery and subsequent elongation of the spinal canal.

The mean patient age at surgery was 14.2 years (range, 11 to 20 years). The spines of all patients were fused within the range of T2 to L2, and computed tomography (CT) data were retrospectively collected. We measured the preoperative and postoperative lengths of the spinal canal from T2 to L2 using 3-dimensional (3D) CT-based imaging software. We also examined the association between the change in T2-L2 spinal canal length and the radiographic parameters.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The length of the spinal canal from T2 to L2 was increased by a mean of 8.5 mm in the patients with Lenke type 1, 12.7 mm in those with type 2, and 10.1 mm overall. Elongation was positively associated with the preoperative main thoracic Cobb angle in both the type-1 group (R = 0.43, p &lt; 0.005) and the type-2 group (R = 0.77, p &lt; 0.000001).
