Scoliosis may develop and progress rapidly, especially during adolescence. We report 4 patients with FOP and scoliosis during early adolescence: A 12-year-old girl underwent T4-S2 posterior spinal fusion (PSF); another 12-year-old girl underwent T4-S2 PSF; a 13-year-old boy underwent T3-L4 PSF; and a 14-year-old girl was managed nonoperatively because the complex deformity and ankylosed shoulders could not be adequately balanced with surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In patients with FOP, surgical intervention can reduce thoracic deformity and improve pulmonary function but carries substantial risks, including heterotopic ossification.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2106\/jbjs.cc.25.00607","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]],"date-time":"2026-02-05T19:01:17Z","timestamp":1770318077000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Scoliosis in Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva"],"prefix":"10.2106","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-5501-9282","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zaid","family":"Elsabbagh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2557-7397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Myung-Jin","family":"Cha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8533-9438","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert J.","family":"Pignolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1277-5420","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frederick S.","family":"Kaplan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery and Medicine, The Center for Research in FOP and Related Disorders, The University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2934-6374","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul D.","family":"Sponseller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"bib1-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molmed.2024.08.010","article-title":"Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva emerges from obscurity","volume":"31","author":"Kaplan","year":"2025","journal-title":"Trends Mol Med."},{"issue":"5","key":"bib2-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"525","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1783","article-title":"A recurrent mutation in the BMP type I receptor ACVR1 causes inherited and sporadic fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva","volume":"38","author":"Shore","year":"2006","journal-title":"Nat Genet."},{"issue":"8","key":"bib3-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1746","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.1637","article-title":"An Acvr1 R206H knock-in mouse has fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva","volume":"27","author":"Chakkalakal","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Bone Miner Res."},{"issue":"3","key":"bib4-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"650","DOI":"10.1002\/jbmr.2728","article-title":"The natural history of flare-ups in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP): a comprehensive global assessment","volume":"31","author":"Pignolo","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Bone Miner Res."},{"key":"bib5-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115539","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bone.2020.115539","article-title":"Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP): a disorder of osteochondrogenesis","volume":"140","author":"Kaplan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bone."},{"issue":"12","key":"bib6-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2422","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gim.2022.08.013","article-title":"The natural history of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva: a prospective, global 36-month study","volume":"24","author":"Pignolo","year":"2022","journal-title":"Genet Med."},{"key":"bib7-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"612853","DOI":"10.3389\/fcell.2020.612853","article-title":"The developmental phenotype of the great toe in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva","volume":"8","author":"Towler","year":"2020","journal-title":"Front Cell Dev Biol."},{"issue":"2","key":"bib8-20260205","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"220","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199302000-00009","article-title":"The histopathology of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva.
