    http://www.vh.org/pediatric/patient/orthopaedics/scoliosisspinalfusion/
    
    Extractions: Last Revised: December 1999 You have developed a curvature of your spine called scoliosis. Scoliosis and other back problems are treated by a bone and joint specialist called an orthopaedic surgeon.

We hope that knowing a little bit about scoliosis treatment will help you and your parents be better prepared for your visit with the orthopaedic staff What is Scoliosis? Scoliosis is a problem with your backbone, or spine, causing it to bend sideways and twist. Scoliosis can occur in either the upper back (thoracic), lower back (lumbar), or very rarely, in the neck (cervical region). Idiopathic scoliosis (scoliosis of an unknown cause) is the most common type of scoliosis in the United States. Eighty percent of diagnosed cases are of the idiopathic type. Idiopathic scoliosis is usually noticed at the onset of puberty and is more often seen in females. People with scoliosis often have uneven shoulders or hips, and a shoulder blade which sticks out. Changes are especially noticeable when the person is bending over. Most scoliosis is found during school screening. Treatment If the spinal curvature progresses despite the use of conservative measures such as bracing, the doctor might recommend surgery called a "posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation." The purpose of this surgery is to halt progression of the curve and stabilize that portion of the spine. Doctors recommend surgery when the curve gets to a certain size, usually 45-50 degrees. If the curve is getting bigger and it's not treated, it can cause physical deformities and possibly lead to back, lung and heart problems in later years.

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine which may have its onset in infancy but is most frequently seen in adolescence. It is more common in females by a 2:1 ratio. However, when curves in excess of 30 degrees are evaluated, females are more frequently affected by a ration of approximately 8-10:1. The cause of the most common form of scoliosis idiopathic scoliosis is unknown, but there are certainly hereditary factors that are present. Scoliosis causes shoulder, trunk and waistline asymmetry.
