Statistically speaking, 3 over 100 children that are born have scoliosis. I wonder how many of those have to be submitted to scoliosis surgery. Does anyone have numbers?
Is 0,1%, that is, 1 over 1000 children born a good guess? or is it even less?
I am talking about those who need surgery. The ratio that I want to know is: population that needs surgery VS population that don't need scoliosis surgery.
Linda Racine, may you help here?
If surgery is so rare I wonder why social welfare won't give some form of benefits to those who suffer from a fused spine. It fits into the definition of "disability", I am not using the term pejoratively, but the reality is that you lose mobility, so you may use those parking spots assigned and so on. Do you agree? What is the reality in your country?
