ABSTRACT
Let us it might seem a loaded question: how far can a scoliosis is correct?, we find that it is a common in literature, even in the surgeons to solve such situations. To be able to answer will have to know; what type is, and what is the treatment to be in each case in particular. For this reason, it will be important to consider, from the etiology, the form of presentation, the patient’s age, whether or not it is structured, until the pathology associated directly or indirectly. Just knowing this information we can develop an appropriate treatment plan, which allows us to in turn be able to give a possible outcome. Without losing sight clear universal fundamentals of treatment seeking to subject the patient to a minimal risk and avoiding possible complications that can lead to the patient, since a severe neurological injury until a fatal outcome in the most serious. But above all in our desire to correct the deformity we must not fall into temptation and always bear in mind that less than 100% correction is not a failure, if the result improved spinal stability and approached the center of balance the trunk, avoiding secondary dysfunctions.
