Abstract
This case report presents a 47-year-old male with severe thoracic scoliosis measuring 80 degrees and significant kyphosis. The patient reported chronic back pain, restricted mobility, compromised cardiopulmonary function, low self-esteem, and limited activities. Radiographs confirmed the deformity without congenital anomalies. Adult spinal deformities pose challenges due to skeletal maturity. Non-operative management has limited effectiveness for severe cases. Surgery risks must be weighed against benefits. Novel understandings of spinal biomechanics may enable less invasive corrections. The profound impacts of deformity on quality of life were demonstrated. A comprehensive, individualized approach is needed. Ongoing research may improve outcomes and redefine care standards.
