Currently there is no scientific evidence about the ideal time for patients submitted to correction surgery of idiopathic scoliosis to return to sports practice, so the decision should be adapted for each case. This paper presents a literature review about this subject after research at database Pubmed/Medline and english language original papers selection, our center guidelines and underlying rationale and suggests general recommendations based on the current scientific evidence.
