The preoperative X-ray presented in Fig. 1 of the original publication erroneously was not the latest radiographic image taken before the index surgery at the age of 3 years. Instead, it depicts the deformity at the age of 13 months. The X-ray shown below correctly demonstrates the scoliosis 2 months prior to the index surgery and shows the distinctive curve progression. The Cobb angle measurements in Table 2 of the original paper correspond to the X-ray shown below.
