ABSTRACT
The primary goal in the management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is to prevent the progression of spinal deformity either with the use of a brace or with surgery. The goals of surgery, if indicated, are to correct the spinal deformity safely and to preserve overall spinal balance and as many motion segments as possible, which maximizes the long-term health of a patient's spine. Recently, tremendous advances have been made in the surgical techniques that are used to correct adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and improved tools have allowed surgeons to perform spinal deformity surgery as safely and with as few complications as possible. Surgeons should be aware of recent evidence that demonstrates the efficacy of bracing in patients who have adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In addition, surgeons should understand recent advances in spinal deformity surgery with regard to fusion level selection, implant placement, three-dimensional deformity correction, and techniques that are used to minimize perioperative complications.
