How effective is scoliosis surgery? How much scoliosis can be corrected? This is the patient’s main concern. There are two aspects to this question: firstly, if the scoliosis is particularly flexible, and secondly, if the scoliosis is particularly rigid. First, if the scoliosis is particularly flexible, and second, if the scoliosis is particularly rigid. If the scoliosis is particularly flexible, the better the flexibility, the greater the degree of correction. In this case, it can be corrected to more than 90%. For example, if a scoliosis of more than 60 degrees is corrected, we can correct it by 90%. That means we can correct up to fifty-five degrees. And the rest of the scoliosis? It’s very small. And from the x-ray? Sometimes it looks very straight. For the second type of scoliosis, that is, severe rigid scoliosis. This type of scoliosis is particularly difficult and risky to operate on. What is the degree of correction? Usually only between fifty and sixty percent. However, it is important to realize that scoliosis surgery is not about correcting as many degrees of scoliosis as possible. The first goal of scoliosis surgery is to stop the progression of the scoliosis. The second goal is to restore the patient’s balance, which is the most beautiful. So instead of focusing on how much the surgery corrects, we should focus on the fact that after the surgery our scoliosis will not progress. Our balance will be restored and your “beauty” will be restored.
