Adult scoliosis is more effective if the scoliosis is not severe and minimally invasive, while severe scoliosis with kyphosis may not be effective.
Adults with scoliosis with a scoliosis angle of 40-50 degrees and no kyphosis or rotation can have minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery can be used to correct the scoliosis, and the results of surgery are generally better.
If the scoliosis is greater than 50 degrees, with spinal rotation or severe kyphosis, the minimally invasive surgery is not effective and requires incision to restore the nail rod fixation. After surgery, a brace will be worn to correct the scoliosis, and full recovery usually takes about 3 months.
Therefore, adults with scoliosis need to go to the spine surgery department of the hospital in a timely manner, according to the severity of the scoliosis, the doctor will determine whether minimally invasive surgery is needed.
