Arthrodesis to L5 versus S1 in long instrumentation and fusion for degenerative lumbar scoliosis  退行性腰椎侧弯长节段固定融合至L5与S1对比 There is a debate regarding the distal fusion level for degenerative lumbar scoliosis. Whether a healthy L5-S1 motion segment should be included or not in the fusion remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal indication for the fusion to the sacrum, and to compare the results of distal fusion to L5 versus the sacrum in the long instrumented fusion for degenerative lumbar scoliosis. A total of 45 patients who had undergone long instr
