Method: We independently translated SRS 22 from English to Arabic questioner which were filled
out by 36 patients.
All of them were cases of idiopathic scoliosis treated by surgery and instrumentation in Palestine
from 2004-2007, with a mean follow up time of 1.5 years, with a minimum post-op period of 10 months.
Mean age at this of surgery was 13 years old.
Radiographic examination included pre and post op. a Cobb angle, and the curves were classified as
thoracic "26" lumbar "1" thoracic and lumbar "9"
.
Results: The questionnaire results were used to divide patients into 2 groups for each domain one for
those who had a score of 4 and above (satisfied), the other for those who had a score of below 4
(unsatisfied).
Comparison between SRS 22 and radiographic results revealed positive correlation between self
image, pain and mental health domains with the Cobb angle correction. On the other hand, no
correlation was detected with function domain.
