In the thoracic curve group, the pre-operative mean values of appearance, activity, pain, mental, and sub-total were as follows: 2.8±0.5, 4.4±0.5, 4.1±0.4, 3.8±0.9, and 3.8±0.4, respectively. In the lumbar/thoraco-lumbar curve group, the preoperative mean values of appearance, activity, pain, mental, and sub-total were as follows: 2.7±0.5, 4.0±0.8, 3.8±0.9, 3.9±0.9, and 3.6±0.5, respectively. The pre-operative mean domain score of activity in the lumbar/thoraco-lumbar curve group was significantly smaller compare with that in the thoracic curve group (p=0.04).
