Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
BMJ, 2013#### Summary points Scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity of the spine defined as a lateral curvature of the spine in the coronal plane of more than 10°.1 It can be categorised into three major types—congenital, syndromic, and idiopathic. Congenital scoliosis refers to spinal deformity caused by abnormally formed vertebrae. Syndromic scoliosis is

ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1999Because of the relatively recent understanding of the untreated natural history of idiopathic scoliosis, many patients do not require treatment and are simply observed. Immature patients whose curves are between 25 degrees and 40 degrees are at high risk for further progression and should be treated with a brace. Seventy percent to 80% of the time, the

Pathogenesis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
JBJS Reviews, 2014Understanding the cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is important for elucidating its pathogenesis. Epidemiological investigations have demonstrated that the incidence of idiopathic scoliosis is approximately 2% in patients with a Cobb angle of 20°. The proportion of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis who are need of treatment is only
