Results Both an increase in thoracic curvature and Cobb angle are associated with worsening FEV1/FVC (p = 0.06/0.02 and 0.004/0.006 respectively). The comparison with Apex showed no statistical significance (p = 0.405/0.337). Conclusion Increasing spinal curvature is significantly correlated with ...
What is a mesothelioma prognosis? Does scoliosis increase with age? Is curvature of the spine the same as scoliosis? When does idiopathic scoliosis become most noticeable? What is a Cobb angle in scoliosis? Is scoliosis related to a Chiari malformation?
Describing the morphologic features of the thoracic pedicle in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is necessary for placement of pedicle screws.

The most common imaging test for scoliosis is an X-ray. X-rays show clear pictures of the spine’s bones. They help doctors measure the angle of the curve, known as the Cobb angle. This measurement helps in establishing a diagnosis of scoliosis and know how severe the scoliosis is. Somet...
Scoliosis is defined as a lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle of 10° or more. This abnormal curvature may be the result of an underlying congenital or developmental osseous or neurologic abnormality, but in most cases the cause is unknown. Imaging modalities such as radiography, computed...
Some have improved the clinical outcomes [2] although they may still be perfectible. New implant positioning objectives could be a step in the right direction [3]. This lecture aims to answer the following questions: 2. What is mechanical alignment (MA) and why do some have reservations ...
with Dr. Marc right thru Risser 5. She continued her Schroth exercises right through skeletal maturity but since she is fully grown, those can be discontinued as well. Looking at her when she reached skeletal maturity it was impossible to recognize that she started with a 26º Cobb angle!
as they now had another tool to classify scoliosis and make treatment recommendations according to estimated remaining growth potential (along with other factors, such as age, sex, Cobb angle, etc.). Risser sign classifications are on a scale of 0-5. Risser 0 indicates that there is a signif...
MIS surgery, the two cohorts were propensity-score matched based on 8 variables, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), the upper instrumented vertebral level (UIV), the number of fused segments, preoperative pelvic incidence (PI), PI-LL mismatch, and the maximum coronal Cobb angle. A...
