Spinal fusion is the most common surgery to correct severe scoliosis. For some patients it means freedom from a brace they may have been wearing. Within a few months after surgery, you could find yourself enjoying normal activities again.
A condition in which the spine develops one or more abnormal, side-to-side curves.
The CD Horizon™ Solera™ Spinal System is indicated for the correction of an abnormal curvature in the spine.
When observation and bracing have failed to treat the spinal curvature, spinal surgery can be an option for stopping the progression of the curve and correcting the spinal deformity.
All surgical interventions have risks, please discuss these with your health care professional.
Nothing can replace a conversation with your doctor. But we do have answers to a few common questions about scoliosis and scoliosis surgery.
