Journal Article
JBJS classics: Treatment of scoliosis: Correction and internal fixation by spine instrumentation
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the treatment of scoliosis is described in which a metal system of rods and hooks is implanted, and distraction and compression forces applied, to correct the curve and stabilize the treated segments in the corrected position by skeletal fixation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that the prevalence of curves with higher Cobb angles is substantially higher in girls than in boys, and the female to male ratio rises from 1.5:1 to 3:1 and increases substantially with increasing age.

Parent,Manuel Rigo,Michele Romano,Luke Stikeleather,James H Wynne,Fabio Zaina +21 more
TL;DR: The 2016 SOSORT guidelines were developed based on the current evidence on CTIS and include a total of 68 recommendations divided into following topics: bracing, PSSE to prevent scoliosis progression during growth, other conservative treatments, respiratory function and exercises and assessment.

TL;DR: Both the prevention of AIS and the treatment of its direct underlying cause are not possible, because the definite aetiology and aetiopathogenetic mechanisms that underlie AIS are still unclear.

2011 SOSORT guidelines: Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation treatment of idiopathic scoliosis during growth
Stefano Negrini,Angelo Gabriele Aulisa,Lorenzo Aulisa,Alin B Circo,Jean Claude de Mauroy,Jacek Durmała,Theodoros B Grivas,Patrick Knott,Tomasz Kotwicki,Toru Maruyama,Silvia Minozzi,Joseph P O'Brien,Dimitris Papadopoulos,Manuel Rigo,Charles H. Rivard,Michele Romano,James H Wynne,Monica Villagrasa,Hans-Rudolf Weiss,Fabio Zaina +19 more
TL;DR: These Guidelines have been a big effort of SOSORT to paint the actual situation of CTIS, starting from the evidence, and filling all the gray areas using a scientific method, and it is possible to understand the lack of research in general on CTIS.

Back Pain Prevalence and Visit Rates : Estimates From U.S. National Surveys, 2002
TL;DR: This work summarized published data from the 2002 National Health Interview Survey on the prevalence of back pain and compared it with earlier surveys, finding that prevalence generally declined with greater levels of education and increasing income.

Treatment of scoliosis. Correction and internal fixation by spine instrumentation.
TL;DR: A new method for the treatment of scoliosis is described in which a metal system of rods and hooks is implanted, and distraction and compression forces applied, to correct the curve and stabilize the treated segments in the corrected position by skeletal fixation.

The prediction of curve progression in untreated idiopathic scoliosis during growth.
John E. Lonstein,J M Carlson +1 more
TL;DR: The incidence of curve progression was found to be related to the pattern and magnitude of the curve, the patient's age at presentation, the Risser sign, and the patients' menarchal status.

Free hand pedicle screw placement in the thoracic spine: is it safe?
TL;DR: The free hand technique of thoracic pedicle screw placement performed in a step-wise, consistent, and compulsive manner is an accurate, reliable, and safe method of insertion to treat a variety of spinal disorders, including spinal deformity.
