Many years of dedicated research into the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis have not led to one
unified theory. We propose that scoliosis is a mechanical, rotatory decompensation of the …

The development of new technologies and an enhanced understanding of the three-
dimensional deformity in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has led to advances in surgical …

Purpose Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a commonly encountered clinical and
radiographic phenomenon after pediatric and adolescent spinal deformity surgery that may …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spinal

Purpose There are distinct differences in strategy amongst experienced surgeons from
different 'scoliosis schools' around the world. This study aims to test the hypothesis that, due …

Objectives Although rotation is an important aspect of pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS), there are no studies demonstrating rotation pattern by directly measuring …

Background Scoliotic braces are the standard of curve for management of moderate spinal
deformities in pediatric patients. The effectiveness of this treatment method has been shown; …

Purpose The complex three-dimensional spinal deformity in AIS consists of rotated, lordotic
apical areas and neutral junctional zones that modify the spine's sagittal profile. Recently …

Background The current classifications of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) aim to guide
surgical decision making. However, variance exists within treatment recommendations and …
