A member asked:
Will my scoliosis surgery affect my ability to walk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Traditional scoliosis surgery should not affect your ability to walk. If you have a condition known as spinal stenosis associated with your scoliosis and it causes you to have hip and leg pain and lean forward, this could potentially dramatically improve with surgery.
