A member asked:
If my scoliosis curve is 50 degrees thoracic and 25 lumbar, how much height will i gain after scoliosis surgery? my height is 162 cm but my armspan is 166 cm, does that mean ill approximately gain 4 cm after surgery since my back is pretty flexible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The height you gain will depend on the surgery and it's success and the surgeon would be the best person to be able to tll you that more precisely. Good luck
