Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ultrasound can be used to outline the spinous processes and the laminae, and thus to measure axial rotation. Using our own technique, we measured vertebral rotation in 47 patients with idiopathic scoliosis. There was a strong linear relationship between the Cobb angle and the rotation of the apical vertebra in untreated patients, but this relationship was lost in patients who had had brace treatment. Vertebral rotation can easily be measured by ultrasound. This is a harmless and fairly rapid investigation which can be used at routine follow-up examination of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. |
