Introduction

Lateral curvature of the spine. Scoliosis may be structural or functional.

Classification

Structural scoliosis:

  • rotation of the vertebrae on each other
  • deformation of rib cage
  • structural scoliosis is accentuated when the patient bends forward

Functional scoliosis:

Idiopathic scoliosis:[2][3][4]

  • occurs in adolescents
  • milder in course than other forms
  • generally resolves without intervention by early adulthood

Genetics

Management

  • back brace may be benficial[5]
  • not enough evidence to weigh benefits & harms of screening[3][6]
