“…As a result, these patients are not included in studies put forth by spine surgeons. In addition, we have to consider that patients suffering from adverse effects of spine surgery are often lost to follow-up 25 ) . This may cause a reasonable bias in publications on this topic.…”

[Purpose] Untreated early-onset scoliosis may eventually progress to more than 90° after growth, cause severe health problems, and increase chance of mortality. Therefore, surgical intervention is often indicated prior to the development of a life-threatening deformity. This case report aims to reveal how a 76-year-old male patient with curves exceeding 110° is functioning with minimal difficulty. [Subject and Methods] The patient, who has never had surgical intervention for scoliosis, can perform his everyday activities. His curves were 111° thoracic and 118° lumbar when he presented at the author’s office in January 2015. [Results] The patient reported that he rarely needs a physician and participates in endurance sports like jogging. Despite this, the patient recognizes his restrictive ventilation disorder (shortness of breath) when he is inactive. The patient complained of shortness of breath and cosmetic concerns. [Conclusion] The current guidelines indicate that early-onset scoliosis should be operated at a young age; however, this protocol is not supported by high-quality evidence. Notably, patients with curvatures exceeding 100° after puberty may have a reasonable quality of life when they lead an active life with regular participation in endurance sports and physical rehabilitation.

nal fusion surgery is unfavourable for the AIS patient, except in rare cases. There is no evidence that spinal fusion surgery improves quality of life for AIS patients versus natural history. The risks and long-term costs, in terms of pain and suffering, after spinal fusion surgery exceeds what is reasonable for AIS patients, putting the common practice of surgery in question, except in extreme cases.
