“…2 This will lead them to unhappier lives, more physical complaints, lower self-esteem and higher rate of depression. 19 Thus, the cosmesis of the back, shoulder and the straight standing stature after surgery are among the factors affecting patients' satisfaction in scoliosis surgery. 20 Another physical attribute that parents and patients are most concerned about is the effect of surgery on height.…”

Purpose: This study aims to derive a formula to predict post-operative height increment in Lenke 1 and Lenke 2 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients using preoperative radiological parameters. Methods: This study involved 70 consecutive Lenke 1 and 2 AIS patients who underwent scoliosis correction with alternate-level pedicle screw instrumentation. Preoperative parameters that were measured included main thoracic (MT) Cobb angle, proximal thoracic (PT) Cobb angle, lumbar Cobb angle as well as thoracic kyphosis. Side-bending flexibility (SBF) and fulcrumbending flexibility (FBF) were derived from the measurements. Preoperative height and post-operative height increment was measured by an independent observer using a standardized method.

“…Previous studies have shown that this condition negatively impacts patients' quality of life 10,11 . Scoliosis was previous related to altered self-image and mental health, and to functional limitations and pain 3,6,[10][11][12][13][14] . For these reasons, it is important to measure patients' quality of life.…”

| Background: The SRS-22r questionnaire is a well-accepted instrument used to measure health-related quality of life in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. No validated tool exists in Brazil for idiopathic scoliosis, and the use of the SRS-22r in non-English Laguage contries requires its transcultural adaptation. Objective: The objective of this study was to culturally adapt the translated Brazilian version of the SRS-22r questionnaire and to determine its reliability using statistical tests for internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Method: The transcultural adaptation process was carried out according to the recommendations of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. The pre-final version was administered to 44 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The mean age of the participants was 18.93 years and the mean curve magnitude was 54.6°. A subgroup of 30 volunteers completed the questionnaire a second time one week later to determine the scale's reproducibility. Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and the test-retest reliability was determined using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Results: No floor effects were observed using the Brazilian version of the SRS-22r. Ceiling effects were observed in the Pain and Satisfaction with Management domains. The internal consistency values were very good for 3 domains and good for 2 domains. The ICC values were excellent for all domains. Conclusions: The high values of internal consistency and ICC reproducibility suggest that this version of the questionnaire can be used in Brazilian patients with idiopathic scoliosis.Keywords: quality of life; scoliosis; questionnaires; rehabilitation.

“…Scoliosis and its treatment have a great impact in the quality of life of patients, although there are cultural differences in the perception of its importance 5,6 . This pathological condition might bring about physical and psychosocial dysfunctions, which interfere in the patient's health perceptions and satisfaction with the treatment 9 .…”
