“…In this form of scoliosis the deformity consists of lateral deviation of the spine with rotation of the vertebrae; it is classified according to both age at onset and location of the structural curve. The direction of the convexity varies with age of onset and location [1,2]. Similar curves have been noted in identical twins [3].…”

“…Curve type according to age: Infantile scoliosis (0-3 years) has a much higher prevalence of left sided curves (56-88 %) than adolescent scoliosis [39][40][41]; in juvenile idiopathic scoliosis the left and right sides curves are evenly divided [42,43]. Janssen [44] investigated the reason for that distribution of curve types: he found a pattern of pre-existent vertebral rotation in the normal spine that depends on age.…”

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is a common disease with an overall prevalence of 0.47-5.2 % in the current literature. The female to male ratio ranges from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age. In particular, the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys: The female to male ratio rises from 1.4:1 in curves from 10°to 20°up to 7.2:1 in curves [40°. Curve pattern and prevalence of scoliosis is not only influenced by gender, but also by genetic factors and age of onset. These data obtained from school screening programs have to be interpreted with caution, since methods and cohorts of the different studies are not comparable as age groups of the cohorts and diagnostic criteria differ substantially. We do need data from studies with clear standards of diagnostic criteria and study protocols that are comparable to each other.

“…The number of gliding anchorage points was kept to a minimum to minimize the risk of spontaneous fusion, yet an adequate number of gliding anchors was necessary to translate the apex of the deformity toward the midline to control and correct the spinal deformity. An average of 10 vertebrae (range, [8][9][10][11][12][13] was between the fixed anchors. The transverse process is exposed.…”

“…Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) can lead to severe spinal deformities that hinder lung development, which is the primary morbidity associated with EOS [4,10,17]. Spinal fusions performed before the age of 8 can lead to a decrease in lung volume, a common limiting factor in the life expectancy of children with EOS [5].…”
