When the degree of curve of a spine with scoliosis is 40 degrees or more what is indicated?

Curves of 40 degrees or more are highly likely to worsen, even in an adult, because the spine is so badly imbalanced that the force of gravity will increase the curvature.


He had polio as a boy and was partially paralyzed in one leg for over a year although He is no longer paralyzed He now has a severe lateral curvature of the lumbar spin. what has happened?

The curvature could be caused by one of a couple of problems: 1. Most-likely: there could be residual nerve damage to some of the abdominal & back muscles, leaving him leaning toward the affected side. 2. Less-likely: He could have curvature of the spine as a defect known as "Scoliosis". Approximately 2-3% of births have this defect, and the degree of curvature varies from nothing to worry about, to someone requiring aggressive treatment such as braces. If braces don't work, surgical fusion of the spinal vertebra and placement of titanium rods placed along the spine to brace it while the fusion occurs is done. This occurs is while the patient is fairly young (late teens) and if the curvature of the spine is 40-50 degrees, or more...... You can Google SCOLIOSIS to see more about this subject... I hope you can get him some evaluation & treatment, especially while he is (hopefully) still young... Even if the problem is from residual nerve damage, braces might help him function better in society.
