چکیده
Methods Study Design: Retrospective observational study. Population: A total of 3553 patients (2862 females, 691 males), aged between 10 and 21 years were included; each one had at least a clinical evaluation by our physicians and spinal X-rays. Methods: The two groups of females and males were separately divided into five subgroups according to Risser sign, (R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5), in order to analyse data of physiologic parameters (age, weight, height, BMI, menarche and two years after menarche) for each Risser level.

The study by Karol et al. evaluated the relationship between the Risser stage and bracing outcome for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Previous studies, including the important Bracing in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Trial (BRAIST), have generally described combined results for patients at Risser stages 0, 1, and 2. However, Karol et al. evaluated each stage of maturity independently. ...

BACKGROUND Scoliosis is present in 3-5% of the children in the adolescent age group, with a higher incidence in females. Treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is mainly dependent on the progression of the scoliotic curve. There is a close relationship between curve progression and rapid (spinal) growth of the patient during puberty. However, until present time no conclusive method was fo...
