Welcome to our surgeon education webinar on Scheuermann’s Kyphosis. This program will cover the essentials—from pathophysiology, natural history, and thoracic vs. thoracolumbar classification to a focused review of nonoperative care, including bracing and physical therapy. Our faculty will walk through case‑based discussions to highlight real‑world decision‑making in nonoperative management.
We’ll then move into surgical indications, preoperative planning, level selection, intraoperative correction strategies, and technical pearls, followed by a review of postoperative complications, management approaches, and revision surgery. The session concludes with a panel discussion featuring case presentations and expert commentary.
