Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1996
Spinal deformity in children has a wide range of causes. The most common entities are idiopathic scoliosis, postural roundback, and Scheuermann's kyphosis. The pediatrician, primary care physician, and orthopedic surgeon can optimally treat these disorders with close observation, attention to detail, initiation of bracing when indicated, and surgery on

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Pediatric spinal deformity is a common problem facing the pediatrician and orthopedic surgeon. Most commonly seen is idiopathic scoliosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are important. Although the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis remains unclear, there continues to be a search for genetic markers and studies for the modes of inheritance.

Neurosurgery, 2008
Patients with postoperative spinal deformities are being identified with increasing frequency as the number of instrumented spinal operations increases. Thus, it is important for the neurosurgeon to understand ways to minimize postoperative deformity and to understand its operative and nonoperative management. A variety of intra- and postoperative risk

THE HISTORY OF SPINAL DEFORMITY
Neurosurgery, 2008Spinal deformity is the oldest disease known to humankind. The first record of correction of spinal deformity was documented in an Indian religious mythological book written between 3500 BC and 1800 BC. Initially, all spinal deformities were treated with the use of braces, traction, or casts.

Spinal Deformity and Athletics
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2008Exercise and athletic competition for the young individual has become increasingly more important in society. Scoliosis and Scheurmann kyphosis are spinal deformities prevalent in up to 2% to 3% and 7% of the population respectively, requiring nonoperative and occasionally operative treatment.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1986
Spinal deformity is a relatively common disorder, particularly in teenage girls. Early detection is possible by a simple, quick visual inspection that should be a standard part of the routine examination of all preteen and teenage patients. Follow-up observation will reveal those curvatures that are progressive and permit orthotic treatment to prevent ...

Neurosurgery, 2015
Degenerative spinal deformity afflicts a significant portion of the elderly and is increasing in prevalence. Recent evidence has revealed sagittal plane malalignment to be a key driver of pain and disability in this population and has led to a significant shift toward a more evidence-based management paradigm.

The History of Spinal Deformity
Spine Deformity, 2015The description and history of the treatment of spinal disorders have evolved from very early Grecian and Hindu times through to today's complex techniques. An emphasis on renowned figures from throughout the world who have contributed greatly to our understanding and care of spinal deformities is provided.

THE AETIOLOGY OF SPINAL DEFORMITIES
The Lancet, 1988There are two types of spinal deformity, lordosis and kyphosis, and they are mutually exclusive at the same site. Lordosis is rotationally unstable and buckles to the side with growth and spinal flexion, producing scoliosis and changes in transverse plane geometry as secondary phenomena.

Prediction of Deformity in Spinal Tuberculosis
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2007Tuberculosis of the spine may cause kyphosis, which may in turn cause late paraplegia, respiratory compromise, and unsightly deformity. Surgical correction therefore may be considered for large or progressive deformities. We retrospectively analyzed clinical and radiographic parameters to predict the final kyphotic angle in spinal tuberculosis and to ...
