abstract = {With great interest we read the study of Yahara et al. in which they investigated the three-dimensional (3D) length of the spinal canal from T2 to L2 in patient undergoing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery (1). Ultimately, they suggest that surgeons should understand how much the spinal canal is elongated by the deformity correction in order to lessen the risk of neurological complications. In this commentary, we try to link the findings of the present study to the current knowledge on the complex 3D pathoanatomy of AIS.},
