At a minimum 2-year follow-up, the total amount of kyphosis reduction was maintained, with no significant difference between immediate postoperative and early follow-up measurements. Load-sharing score &gt;8, body mass index &gt;26, preoperative radiological parameters (SI, SK, and anterior body height [ABH] ratio), and postoperative ABH ratio were identified as significant predictors of correction loss &gt;10\u00b0. At the final follow-up, all patients had minimal disability, with an average ODI of 7.9%.
