Title Correction

There was a spelling mistake in the original publication [1]. A correction has been made to “Is Anterior Longitudinal Ligament Rupture During Posterior Corrective Surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity a Phenomenon Unique to When Combined with Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion? -Finite Element Analysis with Comparison to When Combined with Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion-”:

Figure 1 Legend

In the original publication [1], the following sentence was missing: “Reproduced with permission from Takeda, H.; Abe, Y.; Imai, T.; Rashid, M.Z.M.; Ikeda, D.; Kawabata, S.; Nagai, S.; Hachiya, K.; Fujita, N.; Kaneko, S. Elucidation of the mechanism of occasional anterior longitudinal ligament rupture with posterior correction procedure for adult spinal deformity using LLIF-finite element analysis of the impact of the lordotic angle of intervertebral LLIF cage. Medicina 2023, 59, 1569; published by MDPI, 2023. [32].”

The correct legend appears below.

Figure 1. A representative case of ALL rupture during posterior correction procedure. A 64-year-old woman with adult spinal deformity, who had undergone postero-lateral fusion at the L3/4 level previously at another hospital. (A) Preoperative CT image. (B) CT image after OLIF (L2/3·L4/5). (C) CT image after posterior correction procedure. In this case, surgery was performed using less lordotic (6°) OLIF cages, which were most lordotic cage available at the time. Anterior longitudinal ligament rupture (white arrow) was observed after the posterior correction procedure. ALL—anterior longitudinal ligament; CT—computed tomography; LLIF—lateral lumbar interbody fusion; OLIF—oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion.
