Correcting the scoliosis and stabilizing the spine in the corrected position is the basis of treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Spinal instrumentation and derotation are the principle steps of surgery for any type of AIS. A perspicuous understanding needs to be attained regarding derotation maneuvers in practice; therefore, we intend to compare radiological outcomes following concave and convex rod derotation maneuvers to analyze their efficacy to correct selective Lenke's Type-1 scoliosis.
