How many degrees of scoliosis do you need surgery?

Scoliosis surgery depends on the severity of scoliosis, age, bone maturity, and progression of scoliosis.

In general, surgery is considered if the scoliosis angle is greater than 40-50 degrees, the patient is still growing, the scoliosis is on the verge of worsening, or the scoliosis has seriously affected the patient's cardiopulmonary function or appearance. However, if the scoliosis angle is large, but has stopped growing, and the scoliosis is stable, surgery may not be necessary. Therefore, although there is a rough degree standard, the specific treatment plan needs to be determined according to the specific situation of the patient.
