RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
Objectives: to analyze surgical approaches for the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis and the prognosis achieved. Methodology: A systematic review with meta-analysis was carried out using the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. Results: The sample consisted of 217 patients with a mean age of 15 years diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis. In all the studies included, the pathological curvature was reduced by more than 49%. Conclusion: The pathological curvature was reduced in all surgical interventions, and the short- and long-term post-operative results were satisfactory.
