Sixty-six responses were received and analyzed. For comparison, Lenke classification was divided into Subgroup 1 (Lenke type 1 and 2), Subgroup 2 (Lenke type 3 and 4), and Subgroup 3 (Lenke type 5 and 6).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average age at the time of surgery was 14.81 (11\u201318) years. There were Lenke 1 (31), Lenke 2 (7), Lenke 3 (12), Lenke 4 (8), Lenke 5 (7), and Lenke 6 (1). The average number of levels fused was 10.27 (7\u201316). 89.3% of patients returned to school between 1 and 3 months. 19.6% of patients returned to physical education (PE) within 7\u201312 months, while 31.8% returned to running within 4\u20136 months. 7.5% of patients did not do PE and 18.2% never ran after surgery. 63.6% of patients returned to contact sports after surgery, majority within 7\u201312 months. 91% of patients felt that they were able to achieve their preoperative performance level. Comparing the subgroups, 92% of Subgroup 1 returned to school within 2 months, while majority of them returned to PE and running within 6 months. 60% of them returned to the same level of contact\/noncontact sports level prior to surgery and 40% within 6 months. Patients in Subgroup 2 and 3 returned later to school. Patients in Subgroup 2 and 3 returned later to school, PE and running with less patients returning to contact\/noncontact sports.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
