Scoliosis is a sideward’s curving of the spine, resulting in one or even two curves, making the spine look like a S. In some cases the spine even shows a rotation component This rotation starts when the scoliosis becomes more pronounced. This is called a torsion-scoliosis, causing a gibbus. Scoliosis can be present from birth. It is then called congenitive scoliosis. Other sorts of scoliosis can be developed during growth, any causes for this are still not found. We then speak of idiopathic scoliosis. There are several types of idiopathic scoliosis. They are classified by location of the (single or double) curve in the spine. | |||
