There is controversy regarding the effect of the Ponte osteotomies in the improvement of coronal correction, its maintenance during follow-up, and the restoration of thoracic kyphosis in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).Seventy-three AIS patients with Lenke type 1-4 curves were included. A prospective description of 43 consecutive patients who underwent apical Ponte osteotomies and sublaminar wires with hybrid instrumentation was retrospectively compared to a historical cohort of 30 patients without "Ponte osteotomies". The surgical details and complications were recorded. We evaluated the radiological measurements and SRS-22 Questionnaire scores over a 2-year follow-up.The Ponte group achieved better postoperative (70 vs 57 %) and final (62 vs 50 %) main curve correction P < 0.001, with no significant loss of correction (4.2A degrees vs 2.5A degrees) P = 0.2 at the final follow-up (48 vs 106 months). We did not find a difference in thoracic (T5-T12) postoperative (22A degrees vs 24A degrees) and final (25A degrees vs 26A degrees) mean kyphosis angle. However, the "Ponte osteotomies" helped to achieve a normal sagittal profile, increasing preoperative hypokyphotic curves (< 10A degrees) from 6A degrees to 17A degrees (control: 9A degrees aEuro"12A degrees; P = 0.01); and preoperative hyperkyphotic curves (> 40A degrees) from 52A degrees to 26A degrees (control: 46A degrees aEuro"39A degrees; P = 0.01). The length of surgery was similar (4.3 vs 4.6 h), as were the SRS-22 scores. No major complications were found.Ponte osteotomies in major thoracic AIS curves treated by sublaminar wires allowed more effective corrective maneuvers, which improved coronal correction without a significant loss during follow-up. The sagittal profile appears to be determined by other variables; however, "Ponte osteotomies" facilitate the contouring of the desired kyphosis.
