Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC) surgeries performed on adults and children

* refers specifically to ASC cases as pioneered by Drs. ABC (ASC by Drs. ABC).  Drs. ABC have years and thousands of cases of experience in both Adult and Pediatric spine and scoliosis surgery, both anterior and posterior approaches.  It’s this “Think Tank” of elite experience that has led to their pioneering success. 

Typical Posterior Metal Rod Fusion

This scoliosis surgery patient had a posterior fusion with metal rods to correct his scoliosis. Typical results of posterior fusion surgery are a very straight back, with a long linear scar, and unfortunately 100% non-functional back muscles. Remaining mobility only exists in the area above or below the rods, near the base of the waist. Recovery is typically 6-9 months long, from typically high blood loss surgery, and 2-4% infection rates.  Return to sports is usually one year, and then restricted by your loss of function.  Chance for additional metal rod fusion extension surgery in your life-time due to junctional breakdown- could be higher than 30%.

Typical Anterior Double ASC

This scoliosis surgery patient here had a Double Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC by Drs. ABC). Her smaller scars are located on either side of her body, hidden under her arms. Notice her normal-appearing spine, shoulder, and waist symmetry.  Her back muscles, 100% functional.  Also, observe the unrestricted range of motion compared to metal rod fusion. Typical recovery time for ASC by Drs. ABC is 6 weeks.  Return to Competive sport often by 3 months.  Low blood loss surgery (<1-2% transfusion rates).  Extremely low infection rates.

Before and After Scoliosis Surgery Photos

Has your doctor recommended surgery to correct your scoliosis? While surgery isn’t necessary for every case, it may be helpful depending on the severity of the scoliotic curve, the patient’s age and symptoms, and the scoliosis progression rate. If you’re wondering if surgery is the right option, it may be helpful to look at scoliosis surgery before and after photos.

Shown here are specifically ASC by Drs. ABC surgery before and after pictures of patients of different ages and with varying curve types (single, double, complex).

What Is the Average Scoliosis Surgery Recovery Time?

If our scoliosis surgery before and after photos sparked your interest in ASC by Drs. ABC, you might be wondering what the recovery time looks like for this type of procedure.

During this procedure, the back muscles are not touched. As a result, patients can expect to see amazing scoliosis surgery results within weeks (rather than months compared to posterior metal rod spinal fusion surgery).

Overall, most patients are able to return to full activities six to eight weeks after surgery. Many teenagers go back to school around 4 weeks. However, recovery time and results will vary on a per-case basis. 

What to Know ASC by Drs. ABC Scoliosis Surgery

After surgery, patients typically follow a recovery timeline similar to this:

  • Four to Five Days Post-Surgery: The patient is discharged from the hospital and able to go home.
  • One to Three Weeks Post-Surgery: The patient feels they are getting “back to normal” but still have limitations.
  • Three to Four Weeks Post-Surgery: The patient can return to work or school, sometimes in limited fashion.  For the first four weeks after surgery, the patient should plan on taking it easy.
  • Six Weeks Post-Surgery: The patient may be cleared to return to normal daily activities six weeks after surgery.
  • Six to Twelve Weeks Post-Surgery: During this timeframe, a patient’s doctor may give them the green light to resume playing certain sports and activities.

It’s important to note that scoliosis surgery results and timelines will vary on a case-by-case basis, so you must follow your doctor’s specific instructions.
