I just went to Cleveland Clinic today and met with a surgeon Dr. Mclain. I am 50 years old and haven't had any previous surgery for my scoliosis. He suggested a followup in 3 months and a series of x-rays at that time.He was suggesting surgery since my curve is 70 degrees lumbar and 65 degrees thoracic. The surgery he suggested was a lumbar correction only and then to monitor the thoracic curve to see if it did not progress. Has anyone heard of just a lumbar correction and not a correction of the thoracic also at the same time.
