The angle you mentioned is high and she should be evaluated clinically and radiologically to find out the cause of late onset scoliosis and chalk out the plan

I would need an X-ray of the patient.
Treatment depends on how much growth potential is left.
If a lot of growth potential is there, then a Milwaukee brace will be sufficient.
If not, then she might require surgery
