Abstract
The human spine performs numerous structural and physiological functions. Integrating the brain and nervous system with the axial skeleton and safe guarding the spinal cord are two crucial roles that the spinal column plays in all animals. Herein, we aimed to provide a clinical update on idiopathic scoliosis in adolescents. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis who were formerly at our hospital were invited to participate in this study.In total, 269 individuals with idiopathic scoliosis with a mean age (standard deviation) of 16.5 ±2.1 years met the inclusion criteria. Of the individuals with idiopathic scoliosis, 129 remained untreated, 59 were being treated with bracing, 35 had previously been prescribes braces, and 46 had undergone surgery. The scoliosis group had significantly lower SRS-22r subscore (p < 0.001) as well as the function (p = 0.009), pain (p < 0.001) and self-image (p < 0.001) scores than the healthy control group had. The EQ-5 index was also significantly lower (p = 0.034) in individuals with scoliosis than in the healthy controls. Adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis are more likely to be satisfied with surgical management
