Can you grow taller after scoliosis surgery?

You may grow taller after having scoliosis surgery. Scoliosis surgery in children with growth potential utilizes a relatively new technique called the growth rod technique. The advantage of this technique is that the patient’s growth potential is preserved, and the spine’s growth potential is preserved by using a separate, less invasive procedure to prop open the growth rods at regular intervals, so that the internal fixation device continues to match the body’s growth. In addition, because the patient’s growth is not only determined by the spine, the lower limbs also play a more important role in the growth process. Therefore, in these patients, it is not necessary to be too concerned about the growth rate of the patient, and the use of the growth bar technique is currently a very beneficial technique for preserving the patient’s growth potential.
