The main issue is I would not expect that a study would be publishable demonstrating the efficacy of surgical correction of ever-progressing curves. It's like there is probably no publication showing the efficacy of setting broken arm bones. It's so obvious that it isn't publishable nor is it necessary to publish. The thing speaks for itself.... there is no other demonstrated way to stop certain curves from killing the person besides surgery.
The article above does not say that surgery is ineffective. It only states that there are no pubs on the issue. Big difference.
