Stabilization construct for deformity correction (scoliosis). Anteroposterior (a) radiograph and sagittal CT reformat in bone algorithm (b) demonstrate a fusion/stabilization procedure using bilateral rods with transpedicular and lateral body screws (arrows) extending through the thoracolumbar spine (from T4-T5 to L5-S1).
