Spinal deformity correction is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting abnormal curvature or misalignment of the spine. These deformities can include conditions such as scoliosis (sideways curvature), kyphosis (forward curvature), or other spine misalignments. The procedure involves a combination of techniques to realign the spine, stabilize it, and, in many cases, fuse the vertebrae to prevent future deformity.
