The importance of the initial diagnosis and subsequent management
of scoliosis is crucial as it affects the patients future. Initial
diagnosis is highly important in orientating the patient and
correlating available therapeutic means to the expected results.
Since the 1900s, the surgical approach to scoliosis has changed as
thoughts and possibilities have evolved. Nowadays, progressive
spinal deformities can be managed with specific orthopedic devices
or vertebral arthrodesis surgery, depending on the age of the
patient. Additionally, the type and extent of scoliotic deformity
as well as on the presence of comorbidities have aided in the
transforming of these methods. Arthrodesis is not considered the
best treatment for younger patients; however, it becomes almost
inevitable to cure important deformities of the spine in older
children. Surgical fusion in patients with severe scoliosis can
improve the deformity, but the spine is rendered more rigid and
spinal growth is subsequently affected. The information contained
in this clinical book are derived from the valuable experience of
over 40 authors and co-authors from all over the world, and we hope
this format will help the reader at the critical junctures to which
decisions must be made. All the participants provided their own
analysis, and their therapeutic choices and contributions have
served this project well. This book would not exist without their
efforts, diligence and commitment. This clinical book is an
opportunity for every physician and surgeon dealing with children
and adolescents with scoliosis to obtain updates concerning actual
trends and knowledge in this field of study.
