By surveying the European Pediatric Orthopedic Society (EPOS) and the Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ortopedia (SLAOTI), we aim to characterize this variability.  Material and methods:  in 2021, we distributed an anonymous online questionnaire to EPOS and SLAOTI.  Results:  43% EPOS and 22% SLAOTI perform scoliosis procedures (p &lt; 0.05). 18% EPOS and 2% SLAOTI performed &gt; 35 procedures annually (p &lt; 0.05). 70% EPOS and 27% SLAOTI received formal training in spinal deformity surgery (p &lt; 0.005).  Conclusions:  results show significant differences in training and performance of scoliosis procedures between societies.]]></p></abstract>

A través de encuestar a la Sociedad Europea de Ortopedia Pediátrica (EPOS) y a la Sociedad Latinoamericana de Ortopedia (SLAOTI) queremos caracterizar esta variabilidad.  Material y métodos:  distribuimos un cuestionario anónimo en 2021 a los miembros de EPOS y SLAOTI.  Resultados:  realizan las cirugías de escoliosis 43% de EPOS, en comparación con 22% de SLAOTI (p &lt; 0.05); 18% de EPOS realizó &gt; 35 cirugías al año, en comparación con 2% de SLAOTI (p &lt; 0.05); 70% de EPOS y 27% de SLAOTI recibieron capacitación formal en cirugía de deformidades de la columna (p &lt; 0.005).  Conclusiones:  los resultados de este estudio subrayan las diferencias en el entrenamiento de las cirugías de escoliosis entre diferentes sociedades.]]></p></abstract>
