No progression in a patient with nearly 26° thoracic and 21° lumbar curve and failure of formation from the age of 10 (premenarchial) to the age of 14 (2 years postmenarchial). At 10 years, a girl with congenital scoliosis appeared with a 26° thoracic and 20° lumbar curve as can be seen on the left (the same as she had at the age of 8). At 12 years (middle) she had 22° and 25° curve and at the end of treatment at the age of 14 (right) she had 22° thoracic and 20° lumbar curve, respectively. She has been treated conservatively; however even without treatment, she would have overcome the pubertal growth spurt without significant progression.
