Priority 24 from the Scoliosis PSP

UNCERTAINTY: When and how often is repeat surgery required in later life? (JLA PSP Priority 24)
Overall ranking	24
JLA question ID	0059/24
Explanatory note	Not available for this PSP
Evidence	Previous related research studies - None identified
Health Research Classification System category	Musculoskeletal

Extra information provided by this PSP
Original uncertainty examples	Now that men with DMD are living longer, are we seeing problems relating to pain years after scoliosis surgery, postural adaptation through metal fatigue over time, or further surgical intervention? ~ Does having had surgery in the early 1980's mean that more surgery is inevitable? Due to chronic pain, neuro pain and further spinal movement. ~ What are the longer term outcome/durability of metal work/spinal fusion in terms of further surgery and pain?
