Spinal growth velocity versus height velocity in predicting curve progression in peri-pubertal girls with idiopathic scoliosis
BACKGROUND Height velocity (HV) is traditionally used to monitor the residual growth potential in idiopathic scoliosis (IS). The temporal timing of rapid increase in standing height often does not match exactly that of the increase in spine height. The purposes of this study were to analyze the correlation between change of angle velocity (AV) vs the changes of spinal growth velocity (SGV) and ...
متن کاملSpine velocity provides more accurate assessment of curve progression than height velocity in progressive female idiopathic scoliosis undergoing bracing treatment
of background data The height velocity (HV) is traditionally utilized to provide information of the longitudinal linear growth potential and subsequently to guide the design of treatment strategy. The existence of distal-to-proximal growth gradient in adolescents, however, has made scoliosis surgeons wonder whether SV provides superior information to HV in predicting the likelihood of significa...
متن کاملAssessment of angle velocity in girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
BACKGROUND Although it has been demonstrated that the peak height velocity (PHV) is a predictive factor of progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), little is known about the usefulness of angle progression in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to establish a relationship between height and angle velocities, as well as to determine if peak angle velocity (PAV) occurs a...
متن کاملSignificance of peak height velocity as a predictive factor for curve progression in patients with idiopathic scoliosis
BACKGROUND Much attention has been paid to peak height velocity (PHV) as a possible predictor of curve progression in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS). The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the magnitude of the Cobb angle at PHV and scoliosis progression, defined as having surgery prior to skeletal maturity in female patients with IS. METHODS A retrospective rev...
متن کاملPubertal Gynecomastia Coincides with Peak Height Velocity
OBJECTIVE Pubertal gynecomastia (PG) occurs in up to 65% of adolescent boys. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the ages at which PG and peak height velocity occur in pubertal boys. METHODS This was a prospective study that was designed to detect PG within three months of its emergence. We examined one hundred and six boys who were followed for short stature and/or delaye...
