Current Practice and Future Perspectives in Scoliosis Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the current multidisciplinary approaches and advancements in the clinical management of scoliosis. As a condition requiring continual optimization of diagnosis and treatment pathways, papers will synthesize established standards and emerging innovations across key specialties including orthopedics, rehabilitation, and neurology. Particular focus is placed on contemporary non-surgical and surgical techniques, such as bracing, exercises, and innovations in spinal instrumentation. Outcomes assessing the various domains affecting patients' lives were also discussed. While advancing the biomedical understanding of scoliosis, the overarching goal of the papers included is to inform evidence-based medical decisionmaking through the integration of epidemiological, clinical, and health service research relevant to practice. By bringing together experts across fields, this compilation seeks to enhance scoliosis care by mobilizing multimodal scholarship that translates insights into practical solutions applicable to improving the quality of life for those living with this challenging condition. The etiological or pathophysiological research presented will complement clinical analysis.
