A member asked:
For a 14 year old male with 85% scheuermann's kyphosis curve do you recommend fusion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For children with progressive deformities greater than 70-80 degrees who experience persistent back pain despite nonoperative measures such as bracing, spinal fusion may be considered. Your orthopedician is likely to consider all options.
