Scoliosis Clinical Outcomes

Dr. Matthew Geck, a nationally known expert on adult and adolescent scoliosis, presents a summary of Clinical Outcomes on Scoliosis.

Dr. Matthew Geck is involved in research that advances the treatment of scoliosis through his association with Dell Medical School in Austin, Texas. This video features Dr. Geck, Assistant Professor of Surgery at Dell Medical School, providing a lecture on minimally invasive scoliosis surgery at the Dell Medical School Grand Rounds in June 2023. The video outlines 2023 clinical outcomes for minimally invasive scoliosis surgery compared to traditional surgery with a single long incision. The video shows dramatic before/after images of successful scoliosis correction.

Dr. Geck is a leader in the development of mini scoliosis surgery that uses three smaller incisions to correct the spinal curve rather than one long incision. The mini scoliosis surgery technique lessens blood loss and disruption to muscles and ligaments in the back. The smaller incisions enable the scoliosis surgery patient to recover more quickly with a less painful rehab.

Few scoliosis surgeons in the United States are trained in mini scoliosis surgery. More information can be found at ScoliosisTexas.com and TexasSpineandScoliosis.com. Dr. Geck maintains an active Austin, Texas scoliosis practice specializing 100% in adult and adolescent scoliosis, which attracts scoliosis patients from across the United States to the nationally known spine center. The spine center is the only spine center in Texas featured on SpineCenterNetwork.com as a regional spine center of excellence.

Clinical Outcomes for Scoliosis

Clinical outcomes for pediatric scoliosis treatment

Clinical outcomes collected at Texas Spine and Scoliosis for pediatric and adolescent scoliosis treatment involves patient forms completed before treatment and after treatment at various intervals. Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) are considered to be the most valid measurement of clinical care related to the patient’s assessment of their function, pain level, self image, mental health and satisfaction of the care provided by the clinicians at Texas Spine and Scoliosis.

The OSWESTRY is a standardized spine assessment tool used for 50 years within the spine field that measures a patient’s function over a range of activities and compares that to a national database. SRS stands for data assembled over decades by the Scoliosis Research Society, the most respected international group of scoliosis specialists. The data presented here is collected and aggregated by a clinical outcome data professional within the spine center.
