The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect that corrective surgery for scoliosis would have on pulmonary function as well as the circumference of the chest. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on thirty individuals who had idiopathic scoliosis and had been admitted to the hospital. Before the surgery, after it had been completed (on the fifth day), and again three months later, the pulmonary function was tested.
The purpose of this study was to see how corrective scoliosis surgery affected pulmonary function and chest circumference. As a result, the current investigation was carried out on 30 individuals brought to the hospital with idiopathic scoliosis. The pulmonary function was assessed before surgery, on the fifth day following surgery, and three months thereafter.

cobb angle
In terms of measuring the major curve Cobb's angle, patient in a standing posterior-anterior (PA) radiograph, the angle is composed of two intersecting lines: the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra. These lines meet at the point where the upper endplate of the main thoracic curve upper vertebra and the lower endplate of the main curve lower vertebra meet.
