Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria
Analysis of video encounters between providers, patients, and families will be used to
develop a shared decision making tool for patients deciding between surgery and observation
for scoliosis treatment.

For patients and parents who are considering scoliosis surgery, a video recording of the
encounter will be obtained during their routine clinical visit to discuss surgery/options.
This video will then be sent to the shared decision making group at Mayo Clinic, Rochester,
MN to run analysis of the data (Shared Decision Making National Resource Center, Knowledge
and Evaluation Research Unit, Mayo Clinic). Investigators will follow the patient's
electronic medical records for 2 years after their decision of treatment option. No outcome
forms will be specifically collected as part of the study, as outcomes forms are currently
being collected clinically on all scoliosis patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Scoliosis curve >40 degrees, < 65 degrees

- Risser score > 2

- Age > 13 years

Exclusion Criteria:

- Risser score of 0 or 1

- Non-ambulatory scoliosis patients
