Go take a look at the data from the 1930's to the mid-1960's, before surgical corrections. These data contain valuable information on the natural progression of scoliosis without surgical fusion to stop the curve from becoming it's 'termainal' curve.
The data we gather today on curve severity can't be used for that purpose because we no longer know how truly severe a curve will get because we have medical interventions.
So go take a look at the old data on PUBMED. I think you'll find it very interesting.
