Etiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), a complicated three-dimensional spinal
deformity with early-onset, receives continuous attention but remains unclear. To gain an …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities, yet its cause is
unknown. Various theories look to biomechanical, neuromuscular, genetic, and …

Introduction In the last decade, spine surgeons have been impacted by the “sagittal plane
analysis revolution”. Significant correlations have been found in adult spinal deformity (ASD) …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) has been linked to neurological, genetic, hormonal,
microbial, and environmental cues. Physically, however, AIS is a structural deformation …

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 …

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common clinical condition that develops around
puberty, has implications for the rest of oneLs life, and is a classic enigma in orthopaedics …

Introduction and aim of the study: We aim to determine whether the changes in the spine in
scoliogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis (IS), are primary/inherent or secondary. There is limited …

Abstract Background Context One of the characteristics of reported observations in
adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is that the thoracic spine is longer anteriorly than …

Purpose Current treatment of progressive early onset scoliosis involves growth-friendly
instrumentation if conservative treatment fails. These implants guide growth by passive …

Purpose To describe the physiology of spinal growth in patients with adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis (AIS). Methods Narrative review of the literature with a focus on mechanisms of …
