How much taller will scoliosis surgery make me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends....: Surgery for scoliosis will indeed make you taller. Your expected increase in height will depend on the severity of the scoliosis. Your surgeon may be able to give you an estimate based on your available imaging studies.
