Scoliosis is a pathological condition involving a permanent lateral deviation of the spine, often accompanied by rotation and deformation of individual vertebrae.
This condition can be congenital or acquired later in life. The abnormal curvature of the spine cannot be corrected spontaneously and may become progressively worse over time. In severe cases of scoliosis, surgery may be required to prevent further complications and improve the patient's quality of life.

Scoliosis, also known as scoliotic spinal deformity, can be :
Women are more likely to develop scoliosis, by a ratio of 7 to 1. They are also more likely to develop more severe forms of scoliosis.
In some cases, scoliosis may be associated with collagen, neuromuscular, or endocrine disorders.
Acquired scoliosis occurs after traumatic or inflammatory injury to the spine, or may be caused by acquired neuromuscular or degenerative lesions.
In the majority of cases, however, the origin is unknown or there is no definite cause, resulting in the clinical picture of idiopathic scoliosis.
Other causes of scoliosis include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, and tumors.
The symptoms of scoliosis vary from one individual to another. However, the following are the most common symptoms:
In Turkey, scoliosis treatment is tailored to each patient, taking into account several factors: the severity of the curve, the patient's age and general health.
For mild to moderate curves, a custom-made orthopedic corset may be prescribed as a non-surgical treatment. The goal is to slow the worsening of the deformity and maintain the curvature within a certain range.
In severe cases, or when a corset is not sufficient, surgery may be considered. The goal of surgery is to correct the spinal curvature, halt its progression, and improve respiratory function. The most appropriate surgical technique is chosen based on the complexity of the scoliosis.
For mild curvatures that do not pose a significant risk of worsening, regular follow-up by a specialist may be sufficient. This allows the evolution of the scoliosis to be monitored and action to be taken if necessary.
Surgery can be a lifesaver for severe curvatures (over 45 degrees). Given the ineffectiveness of corsets in these cases, surgery offers two major objectives:
However, this procedure should not be taken lightly. Side effects and risks can occur, so it's important to provide patients with clear, comprehensive information to help them make an informed decision.
Arthrodesis is a very delicate procedure that takes about 4 hours. It is performed under general anesthesia on the patient's back, and involves attaching two titanium rods into the spine to straighten it.
During surgery, the function of the spinal cord is carefully monitored for any problems, using evoked potentials (tests that measure the central nervous system's response to sensory stimuli).
The diagnosis of scoliosis is based on a physical examination and medical imaging.
The doctor will examine the spine for abnormal curvatures and other signs of scoliosis.
X-rays are the most common way to diagnose scoliosis. If necessary, the orthopedic surgeon may use a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to obtain more detailed images of the spine.
The severity of scoliosis is generally measured by the angle of curvature of the spine:
Scoliosis treatment depends on the severity of the curve, the patient's age, and other factors.
