2 Traumatology & Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece Definitions For idiopathic scoliosis (IS) aetiology means the factor(s) causing the IS pathogenesis the mode of origin of the morbid process, & pathomechanism the sequence of events in the evolution of its structural & functional changes that result from the pathological process aetiopathogenesis embrace aetiology & pathogenesis 2

3 Definitions Prof RG Burwell (2013) suggested the word scoliogeny as the collective noun to include aetiology, pathogenesis & pathomechanism 3 Traumatology & Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece

4 Scoliogeny theories, hypotheses & concepts Traumatology & Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece There is a view there are two scoliogenic processes for IS namely initiating (or inducing) & those that cause curve progression IS seems to be a multifactorial condition Burwell et al
