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

The Etiology of Idiopathic Scoliosis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1977A multiple-factor approach to the puzzling diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis is presented in an effort to shed some light on the ever-pervasive shadows of the unknown. Each factor, i.e., nutrition, hormonal influence, genetic tendency, and spinal mechanics, is discussed in detail and with excerpts and summaries from substantive recent literature are ...

The Natural History of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Journal of pediatric orthopedics, 2019Introduction: Adolescent idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) affects 2% to 3% of the population of which only 0.3% to 0.5% of affected patients will have a curvature of >20 degrees, the curve magnitude at which treatment is generally recommended.

THE PATHOGENESIS OF IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 19541. Scoliosis has four fundamental characteristic features as seen in the roentgenograms: Penetration or a transverse shift of the spine into the space surrounding it, contracture of the spine, rotation of the vertebrae, and compressions of the vertebrae on the concave side of the curve. 2.

Clinical Biomechanics, 2019
Background We sought to assess the biomechanical properties of the paravertebral muscles in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients with Lenke Type 1, 2, or 3 (Lenke 1‐3) curves.

Scoliosis Correction Objectives in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 2007A recent study revealed large variability among a group of 32 spine surgeons in the preoperative instrumentation strategies for the same 5 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients. The surgical plans were determined to be surgeon and curve-type dependent.

Spine, 1986
This study reviews the prognostic factors in curve progression in untreated idiopathic scoliosis patients followed an average of 40 years. A select group of 54 patients with 67 curves with complete radiographs from initial presentation, skeletal maturity, 30-year follow-up and 40-year follow-up were analyzed for radiographic factors leading to curve ...

Ten-Year Outcomes of Selective Fusions for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American volume, 2019Background: Selective fusions of the structural curve remain a common treatment strategy for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, yet long-term outcomes are not well-understood.

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

Effects of the Schroth exercise on idiopathic scoliosis: a meta-analysis.
European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2018INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the Schroth exercise on idiopathic scoliosis. The overall effect size was analyzed in 15 primary studies and a subgroup analysis of the standardized mean differences of effect sizes ...
