1 Pulmonary Function Following Early Thoracic Fusion in Non-Neuromuscular Scoliosis by Lori A. Karol, Charles Johnston, Kiril Mladenov, Peter Schochet, Patricia Walters, and Richard H. Browne J Bone Joint Surg Am Volume 90(6):1272-1281 June 1, 2008 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

2 The percentage of the thoracic spine fused at the index procedure plotted against the percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) for twenty-eight patients. Lori A. Karol et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1272-1281 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

3 The average percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) plotted against the most proximal thoracic vertebra fused in the index procedure (r = 0.62, p = 0.0004). Lori A. Karol et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1272-1281 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.

4 The thoracic height at the time of follow-up versus the percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC). Lori A. Karol et al. J Bone Joint Surg Am 2008;90:1272-1281 ©2008 by The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc.
