Who performs spinal fusion surgeries?
Most spinal fusions for scoliosis are performed by a pediatric-fellowship-trained. orthopaedic surgeon who is highly experienced in performing spinal fusions. Depending on nature and complexity of the chest and spinal deformities as well as the health of the individual, another orthopaedic surgeon, a thoracic surgeon, and/or a neurosurgeon may also help with the procedure.
