About this study
Design: Single-center case series (Assiut University Hospital, 2015-2020).
Intervention: Modified posterior VCR with unilateral convex wedge resection, spinal shortening, and instrumentation.
Key Steps:

Posterior-only approach with pedicle screw instrumentation.
Wedge resection focused on convex side, preserving concave continuity.
Bone grafting (cancellous or mesh cage) post-correction.
Follow-up: Radiographic and clinical assessments up to 2 years post-surgery.
