Scoliosis Fusion Surgery
For patients with moderate to severe scoliosis, spinal fusion surgery is often the most effective way to achieve lasting correction and stability. This procedure joins the curved vertebrae so they heal into a single, solid bone, preventing further progression of the curve and restoring balance to the spine.
At The Scoliosis & Spine Deformity Institute, scoliosis fusion surgery is performed with one goal in mind: lasting correction. Our focus is on helping patients achieve straighter posture, improved stability, and renewed confidence in their daily lives. Families from across Texas and around the world place their trust in our team for expert surgical care.
Our practice has three convenient locations in The Woodlands (Houston), Plano (Dallas), and Corpus Christi, with The Woodlands serving as our primary center. Houston is also an internationally recognized medical hub, making it an accessible destination for patients seeking advanced scoliosis treatment from abroad.

What is Spinal Fusion for Scoliosis?
Spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis is designed to correct abnormal spinal curves by aligning and stabilizing the affected vertebrae. Metal rods, screws, and grafts are used to hold the spine in its corrected position as the vertebrae heal together into one solid unit.
Fusion surgery is typically recommended for patients whose curves exceed 40 degrees, are continuing to progress, or significantly affect posture and balance. Unlike bracing or temporary management, fusion surgery offers a permanent solution for spinal stability.
Who is a Candidate for Scoliosis Fusion Surgery?
Candidates for fusion surgery often include:
- Teenagers with scoliosis curves greater than 40 degrees that continue to progress
- Adults whose scoliosis has worsened over time or developed from degenerative changes
- Patients whose spinal deformity interferes with posture, mobility, or overall function
- Individuals seeking a definitive surgical option rather than observation or bracing
Each case is evaluated individually, with surgical plans tailored to the patient’s anatomy, age, and long-term health goals.
Our Approach to Fusion Surgery
At The Scoliosis & Spine Deformity Institute, scoliosis fusion is approached with precision and personalization. Dr. Siddiqui carefully evaluates each patient’s curve, spinal balance, and health profile before designing a surgical plan. His use of advanced techniques and modern instrumentation allows him to correct spinal alignment while aiming to preserve as much natural mobility as possible.
This patient-centered approach means that no two surgeries are alike. From the surgical techniques used to the areas of the spine corrected, every decision is made with the patient’s long-term health and goals in mind. Patients can feel confident knowing their treatment plan is designed with both immediate correction and long-term stability in mind.

Recovery after scoliosis fusion surgery is a gradual process supported by our care team. Patients usually spend several days in the hospital before beginning rehabilitation. Dr. Siddiqui provides detailed post-surgical instructions and close follow-up care to ensure healing progresses safely.
Most patients experience:
