Description
Ida Bromell Kindberg and co-authors followed teenagers operated for scoliosis in a 2026 case series with unusually long follow-up. The 120 patients, aged 11 to 21 at surgery with segmental screw constructs, were tracked for a median of nine years, between five and fifteen.
Complications occurred in 12.5 percent. The spinal curve was corrected by 78 percent on average, drifting only slightly by the final check. Quality of life and self-image scores improved significantly, and 84 percent were satisfied or very satisfied, with work and education status recorded. Durable results like these help families weigh major spine surgery during adolescence.
