DOI: 10.1007/s00586-024-08488-z
Abstract: Appendicular skeleton markers are commonly used for maturity assessment for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) patients. Traditionally, Risser has been a standard skeletal maturity assessment method. More recently, Sanders classification (SSMS), as a more comprehensive system,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43390-024-00949-1
Abstract: The management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves between 40 and 50° is controversial. Here, we investigated the prognostic significance of simple radiographic rotational parameters to identify curves of this magnitude with accelerated deterioration following… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s43390-025-01043-w
Abstract: Treating idiopathic Early Onset Scoliosis (idiopathic EOS) is challenging due to ongoing growth and extensive follow-ups. While bracing is effective for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS), its value for children under 10 remains debated. This systematic… read more here.
