    Figure 2.

    A: Preoperative x-ray of a patient with degenerative lumbar scoliosis showing a 75-degree lumbar scoliotic curve with lateral spondylolisthesis at L4-L5. B: X-ray of the same patient after the lateral (first) stage of the 2-stage procedure. The curve has been reduced to 40 degrees with the lateral procedures alone. C: X-ray of the same patient after the posterior instrumentation stage of the procedure. The scoliotic curve has been almost fully corrected. The sagittal balance has also been restored although it cannot be seen in this view.
