            [0] => In surgical planning for AIS, L3 is chosen over L4 whenever possible to maximize motion segments below the LIV and to avoid disc degeneration. Here we present the 5-year outcomes following fusion to L3 and report several pre-operative factors which make patients high-risk for coronal imbalance or revision surgery. 
Hypothesis There are specific pre-operative factors that increase a patient’s risk for poor outcome following fusion to L3.
Design Retrospective Case-Control 
Introduction Fusion to an L3 LIV is common, though the rate of failure and its risk factors have not been described. Our aim was to identify a cohort of patients with poor outcomes and determine factors that make an L3 LIV high-risk. 
Methods In this analysis of prospectively-collected multicenter data of AIS patients who underwent Posterior spinal fusion to an L3 LIV, we identified patients with a “poor outcome”:  required reoperation  at 5 years follow-up. Radiographs were reviewed to identify those patients whose poor result could be specifically attributed to an L3 LIV:  adding on phenomenon, L4 rotation and coronal malalignment. Patients without a poor outcome at 5 years served as controls. Pre-operative patient and radiographic factors were compared between cases and controls to identify risk factors for poor outcome. 
Results Of 187 patients (81% females; 14.7+/-2.1 years at surgery who underwent PSF to L3 with 5 years of follow-up, 11 (5,8%) were judged to have a poor outcome (7 OOB, 4 revisions) attributable to selecting L3 as the LIV. There were statistically significant differences on univariate analysis between cases and controls with respect to several pre-operative factors, including BMI (26.3 in cases vs. 21,1 in controls; p=0.01), lumbar curve 56 vs. 42 deg. 
Discussion: 5,8% of patients with an L3 LIV had a poor result attributable to LIV selection. There are several pre-operative predictors of poor outcome following fusion to L3 such as high lumbar curve.
