[Predicting in the course of scoliosis-related disorders of vertebral segmentation in children]. Academic Article

abstract

• The article deals with the analysis of the natural course of +seoliosogenous disorders of vertebral segmentation in 26 patients during the first three years of life. The authors determined the prognostic criteria of the rate of increase of the deformity (angle of scoliosis) during the first visit to the doctor and the asymmetry index according to which the course of the disease can be prognosticated with a high degree of probability during the patient's first visit to the doctor. If the patient had radiographs taken at an interval of 6-12 months an additional test was applied-the apical vertebra growth coefficient. The suggested prognostication criteria make it possible to avoid prolonged observation over the patient during which many radiologic studies are resorted to.
