Scoliosis is a serious medical condition where an individual’s spine bends (rotates or is distorted) to the side abnormally. There are various classifications of scoliosis. Congenital scoliosis is a condition that can be caused by a birth defect. Idiopathic scoliosis occurs during childhood or adolescence. Adult scoliosis can occur as the spine ages. Lastly, neuromuscular scoliosis occurs as a result of another medical condition such as cerebral palsy or physical trauma. The goals of scoliosis surgery are to prevent your scoliosis from progressing and to correct the curvature as much as can be done safely by the surgeon.
Scoliosis Surgery
In cases where the curvature is greater than 40-50 degrees, your spine surgeon may recommend surgery to correct a curve or prevent scoliosis from worsening. Scoliosis surgery typically involves fusing the vertebrae of the spine together with the use of internal rods to correct the curvature.
Common Surgical Techniques Include:
- Using segmental fixation, spinal realignment procedures, and selective minimally invasive techniques are employed
- Anterior, posterior or combined approaches are used, depending upon the type of curve
When is Scoliosis Surgery Necessary for Children
- Spine curvature exceeds 40 degrees
- Curvature pressure despite bracing
- Your child has been diagnosed with scoliosis and you have been told that surgery is necessary
When is Scoliosis Surgery Necessary for Adults
- Progressively increasing pain
- Worsening posture due to scoliosis
- Curve progression especially curves over 40 degrees
- Development of neurological symptoms including numbness and weakness
