Surgical treatment of spinal deformities in pediatric orthopedic patients

  • Scoliosis and Scheuermann’s disease are common spinal deformities that affect a substantial population, particularly adolescents, often impacting their quality of life. This comprehensive review aims to present a detailed understanding of these conditions, their diagnosis, and various treatment strategies. Through an extensive exploration of current literature, the review discusses the etiology of these spinal deformities and the use of diagnostic tools such as X-rays and MRI. It further delves into the range of treatment options available, from conservative approaches such as physiotherapy and bracing to more invasive surgical interventions. The review underscores the necessity of an individualized treatment approach, taking into account factors such as the patient’s age, the severity of the curvature, and overall health. This all-encompassing perspective on scoliosis and Scheuermann’s disease will aid in evidence-based decision making in their management with the goal of improving patient outcomes
