The SRS-22 HRQL questionnaire successfully discriminated among persons with no scoliosis or moderate scoliosis and large scoliosis. It did not discriminate among patients with single, double, or triple curves. Self-image and, to a lesser extent, pain and function domain scores correlated with radiographic and trunk asymmetry severity. The SRS-22 HRQL questionnaire may be useful in choosing nonsurgical versus surgical treatment in borderline cases.
