Abstract Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a complex 3D structural
disorder of the spine that has a significant impact on a person's physical and …

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 complex, three-dimensional deformity of the spine
that commonly occurs in pubescent girls. Decreased osteogenic differentiation and aberrant …

In this opinion article, there is an analysis and discussion regarding the effects of growth on
the spinal and rib cage deformities, the role of the rib cage in scoliogeny, the lateral spinal …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Relative anterior spinal overgrowth was proposed as a
generalized growth disturbance and a potential initiator of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis …

Study Design. Cross-sectional. Objective. The aim of this study was to describe the
morphology of intervertebral discs and vertebral bodies during growth in asymptomatic …

Introduction In idiopathic scoliosis, the anterior spinal column has rotated away from the
midline and has become longer through unloading and expansion of the intervertebral …

Study Design. Single-center retrospective review of outcomes among three surgical
techniques in the treatment of thoracic idiopathic scoliosis (T-AIS) with a follow-up of at least …

Scoliosis is a deformation of the spine that may have several known causes, but humans are
the only mammal known to develop scoliosis without any obvious underlying cause. This is …

The S-shaped curvature of the spine has been hypothesized as the underlying mechanical
cause of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In earlier work, we proposed a reduced-order …
