Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Spinal deformities encompass diverse conditions with variable curve progression based on etiology.
  • Accurate monitoring is crucial for managing spinal deformities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review noninvasive techniques for assessing spinal deformity progression.
  • To establish baseline measurements and track curve changes over time.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of Medline database.
  • Systematic review focusing on spinal deformities (scoliosis) and screening techniques up to March 2007.
  • Inclusion of clinical experience in study design.

Main Results:

  • Multiple noninvasive modalities exist for evaluating curve progression.
  • These techniques aid in establishing baselines and monitoring changes.

Conclusions:

  • Physical examination, including serial assessments, is vital.
  • Radiographic methods are essential for documenting and monitoring spinal curve progression.
  • A combination of clinical and radiographic assessment provides comprehensive management.
