Yes and no.

You will still grow, but the area of your spine that has been fused will no longer be able to grow.

Most doctors prefer to operate when the patient is as fully grown as possible.

If doctors operate on someone who still has a lot of growing left, they usually need to do a posterior and anterior spinal fusion, which means they fuse both the front and the back of the spine. This ensures that are no complications with the spine due to growing.

Does back injuries cause scoliosis?

I don't think anything can really cause scoliosis. It runs in the family, so you'd most likely be born with it, or grow into it as you get older. Wouldn't hurt to have your doctor check it out though. My doctor could tell just by looking at me that I had scoliosis.

Do adults have problems with their pyloric sphincter?

In adults the pyloric muscle or valve can be closed by scarring (from ulceration) or cancer. Sometimes pyloric stenosis in infancy is not severe enough to warrant surgery and for whatever reason some of these children grow up still having problems with their pyloric function. Problems with the pyloric sphincter in adults can be managed by medication, lifestyle changes, and/or surgery.
