SRS leadership President's Message

I welcome you to the new and improved Web site of the Scoliosis Research Society, which will serve as the premier access portal for the dissemination of information on scoliosis and related spine deformities.

We present an easy to navigate site which features comprehensive educational materials on spine deformity--scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis. The material has been written in a format comprehensible for our readers worldwide. As we aspire to be the global leaders in research and education in spine deformity, the Web site plays a strategic role for our members and the global community.

Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Oheneba Boachie-Adjei MD
President

The Scoliosis Research Society provides information on these web pages regarding research and links as a public service. The SRS believes that patients should contact their treating physician about the relevance of any information listed on the site prior to proceeding with any particular treatment. Just as no two individuals are exactly alike, no two patients with a spinal deformity are the same. Therefore, your spinal deformity surgeon will be the most important source of information about the management of your particular spinal problem.
