Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Spine Deformity
  • Skeletal Biology

Context:

  • Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex spinal deformity.
  • The exact causes of AIS are not fully understood.
  • Current management strategies for AIS include bracing and surgical intervention.

Purpose:

  • To review current knowledge on the aetiology of AIS.
  • To discuss the natural history and diagnostic approaches for AIS.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of existing AIS treatments.

Summary:

  • The aetiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is multifactorial and not fully elucidated.
  • The natural history of AIS varies, with progression dependent on curve severity and skeletal maturity.
  • Diagnosis relies on clinical examination and radiographic assessment.
