Brief summary

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to see how corrective scoliosis surgery affected pulmonary function and chest circumference. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on 30 individuals brought to the hospital with idiopathic scoliosis. The pulmonary function was assessed before surgery, on the fifth day following surgery, and three months thereafter.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
chest expansion	10 months	chest circumference meaurement
PFT	10 months for each parameter	PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST * Vital capacity (Liter). * Forced VITAL Capacity (Liter). * Maximal voluntary breathing (Liter).

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
cobb angle	10 months	In terms of measuring the major curve Cobb's angle, patient in a standing posterior-anterior (PA) radiograph, the angle is composed of two intersecting lines: the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra. These lines meet at the point where the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra meet.
