9 11 th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities 4 th SOSORT Educational Course, 6-7 May 2014, Wiesbaden (Germany) Types of curves Major the curve with the largest Cobb measurement on upright long cassette coronal x-ray of the spine Minor any curve that does not have the largest Cobb measurement on upright long cassette coronal x-ray of the spine Structural /organic a measured spinal curve in the coronal plane in which the Cobb measurement fails to correct past zero on supine maximal voluntary lateral side bending x-ray Compensatory a minor curve above or below a major curve that may or may not be structural

10 11 th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities 4 th SOSORT Educational Course, 6-7 May 2014, Wiesbaden (Germany) Chronologic definition of idiopathic scoliosis presentations: Α.

20 11 th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities 4 th SOSORT Educational Course, 6-7 May 2014, Wiesbaden (Germany) Clinical appraisal steps of suspicion of structural scoliosis

21 AIS - The clinical deformity in frontal plane sagittal plane hypokyphosis transvers plane rotation

22 AIS - The clinical deformity frontal plane posterior frontal plane anterior frontal plane posterior

23 AIS - The clinical deformity frontal plane posterior frontal plane anterior sagittal plane hypo-kyphosis

24 AIS - The clinical deformity Rib hump

25 The clinical deformity

26 The clinical deformity

27 AIS - The clinical deformity

28 11 th International Conference on Conservative Management of Spinal Deformities 4 th SOSORT Educational Course, 6-7 May 2014, Wiesbaden (Germany) there is no automatic parthenogenesis of structural scoliosis w/ 10 o of Cobb angle & more but it starts from 1 o, 2 o, 3 o also We can t 100%predict which curve will progress unless we follow the patients We must list the signs that could establish the diagnose to a specific pathology & finally to put the diagnose of Idiopathic Scoliosis by rejecting other pathologies

29 The clinical appraisal Forward bending test Adam s 1865

30 The clinical appraisal ATI - ATR Angle Trunk Inclination / Rotasion

31 The clinical appraisal Forward Bending Test (FBT) Adam s 1865

32 The clinical appraisal inclinometer (scoliometer) with the trunk flexed to the horizontal, ATR is the angle between the horizontal & the plane across the back at the greatest elevation of a rib prominence or lumbar prominence, as measured by an inclinometer (scoliometer)

33 Screening techniques Trauma and Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece The Bunnel scoliometer Posture Evaluation Tools - Scoliometers The Pruijs scoliometer A special instrument - scoliometer designed for the assessment of the height of rib prominence-hump

34 Screening techniques Posture Evaluation Tools - Scoliometers Trauma and Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece rib hump Measurement, using the iphone and Scolioguage software in combination w/ the acrylic sleeve or w/out

35 Screening techniques The accuracy (intra- and inter-reliability) of the Scoliometer Grivas et al. Pediatric Rehabilitation, 2006 Trauma and Orthopaedic Department Tzaneio General Hospital of Piraeus, Greece

36 Study of trunk asymmetry in normal children and adolescents, Grivas et al

37 Screening techniques FBT standing sitting mid-thoracic (T4 T8) thoracolumbar (T12 L1) lumbar (L2 L5) region

Sitting Standing T TL L T TL L Study of trunk asymmetry in normal children and adolescents, Grivas et al

42 Screening techniques Detection of idiopathic scoliosis at an early stage the scoliometer reveals children w/ surface deformity. It does not reveal the IS per se the hump doesn't always disclose a spinal curve Grivas et al Scoliosis 2007

43 no scoliosis - straight spines w/ rib hump

44 no scoliosis - straight spines w/ rib hump The recommendation resulting from the above findings is that the specialist must follow an asymmetric child especially in the younger age group
