Purpose There has been a recent shift toward the analysis of the pathoanatomical variation
of the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) spine with the three dimensions, and research of …

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of robot-assisted versus fluoroscopy-
assisted pedicle screw implantation in scoliosis surgery. The study was registered in the …

Introduction Osteopathy uses manipulative techniques to support physiological function and
adaptation. These conditions are modified by the presence of Somatic Dysfunction (SD), an …

Purpose To understand how the axial plane deformity contributes to progression of the three-
dimensional spinal deformity of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), with a main thoracic …

Background Although computed tomography (CT) is commonly used to diagnose the
scoliotic spine in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) preoperatively, it is …

Over the years, several authors have discussed the possibility of considering somatic
dysfunction (SD) as a “nosological element” detectable on palpation. There are many …

Purpose To define the longitudinal rotation axis around which individual vertebrae rotate,
and to establish the various extra-and intravertebral rotation patterns in thoracic adolescent …

Introduction Screw insertion during scoliosis surgery uses free-hand pedicle screw insertion
methods. However, there is a wide variation in pedicle shapes, sizes, and morphometry …

Purpose Free-hand pedicle screw insertion methods are widely used for screw insertion
during scoliosis surgery. Preoperative knowledge about the pedicle size helps to maximize …

Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a spinal deformity that can affect young
children. It requires frequent exposure to X-rays to monitor the deformity, which can lead to …
