Kyphosis 70 degrees age 20 i saw 5 orthopedic surgeons and all of them refused the surgery why did they refuse it?

No proof: they don't like to do scoliosis surgery anymore because of lack of proof of good outcome. I would need to know a little bit more about your case to advise you further. i.e. how bad, is it pressing on nerves or spinal cord, etc.
