Abstract
Early onset scoliosis (EOS) represents a uniquely challenging demographic with increased complexity compared to other forms of scoliosis. Timely intervention is necessary to ensure optimal outcome. Delays to surgery can lead to impaired physical function, reduced pulmonary function or a change in planned surgery. The extent that pulmonary development is impaired by surgical delay is difficult to quantify.
