5 Idiopathic Scoliosis = 80% of scoliosis = Familial = 3 per 1000 of the population has >20 degree curve. = One in 20 children have some degree of deformity of their spine 5

6 Types of Idiopathic Scoliosis 1- Infantile = 0-3 years age (early onset) = 60% Male, 90% left sided thoracic curves common = Plagiocephaly 6

7 = risk for cardio-pulmonary compromise 10-20% = 80-90% resolve, non-progressive. = If rib-vertebra angle > 25 degree (Mehta) Progressive Milwakee brace 7

8 2- Juvenile years age - Progressive -!! need fusion before maturity. -26% cord pathology 8

9 3- Adolescent * Commonest * 10y - maturity (late onset) * F>M 6:1 * Right thoracic 90% * 50% require surgery 9

10 Progression related to = Female sex = Younger age at diagnosis = Significant ifi rotation ti = Single thoracic curve = Large curve > 25 degree = Risser 0-1 = Family history = Growth spurt 10

11 Other Adolescent Types A- Thoracolumbar curves # > in females, > to the right B- Lumbar Curves # > in females # 80% to the left #noribhump presented late C- Double major curves # bad x-ray but well balanced curves 11

30 Plain Radiographs * Indicated in all * Full length standing PA and Lateral. = Analyze Deformity, Pathology,Anomalies, Defects, Bone lesions, Quantify scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis. Tanner staging to determine future growth 30

31 Plain Film Radiograph Initial evaluation: Standing PA and lateral films. 31

32 Plain Film Radiograph Flexibility of the curve is evaluated with supine side-bending films (may only be needed preop.) Standing PA studies are used for follow-up 32

33 33

34 Lat. films beyond initial evaluation are not necessary unless Spondylolysis or Spondylolisthesis is suspected. Traction is used in patients ts with N.M disease with muscles Weakness /paralysis that prevents ents active sidebending. 34

46 Idiopathic Scoliosis Treatment approach: Proper curve and patient assesment 46

47 Infantile: = Many resolve spontaneously = Observe, if progressive (10-20%) Brace.!!!???? early surgery Juvenile: = Mostly observe = Brace if progressive or surgery 47
