A Multicenter Study of the Outcomes of the Surgical Treatment Of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Using the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Outcome Instrument

Abstract

Preoperative pain exists in our adolescent scoliosis population. Pain scores were improved in our study population at the 2-year postsurgical follow-up. Statistically significant improvements were likewise seen in the General Self-Image, Function From Back Condition, and Level of Activity domains. The present study demonstrates the ability of surgery to improve the outcome of patients afflicted with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
