dear rahul, scoliosis is condition of deviation of spinal alignment. if its is severe & affecting cosmetically,or affection neurologiocally ( in case there is accompaning kyphosis as in this case), it needs intervention. progression of curve depends on many factors- age of onset of deformity, onset of puberty, age of patient at presentation, type of curve, associated syndromes, etc... hence proper clinical evaluation, detailed study of successive x rays every 6 months, mri to see cord status and patients -parents expectation- these all go hand in hand to decide surgical versus non surgical management. u need to consult Spinal Surgeon who frequently deals with spinal deformity correction surgery. tk cr.
