| Core Tip |
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a heterogeneous condition with outcomes extending into adult life. This review synthesizes four decades of evidence on untreated, braced, and surgically treated adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Curves < 50° generally follow a benign adult course, whereas progressive deformity may impair self-image and function. Timely bracing and appropriately indicated surgery provide favorable long-term functional and psychosocial outcomes, highlighting the importance of individualized care and shared decision-making. |
