  2. Scoliosis • Scoliosis is an abnormal curve in the spine. • Types of scoliosis based on the cause and age • Scoliosis curves are often described based on the direction and location of the curve • The most common symptom of scoliosis is curvature of the spine.

  3. Types of Scoliosis • Congenital scoliosis: Caused by a bone abnormality present at birth. • Neuromuscular scoliosis: A result of abnormal muscles or nerves. Frequently seen in people with spina bifida or cerebral palsy or in those with various conditions that are accompanied by, or result of paralysis. • Degenerative scoliosis: This may result from trauma (from an injury or illness) bone collapse, previous major back surgery, or osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). • Idiopathic scoliosis: The most common type of scoliosis, idiopathic scoliosis, has no specific identifiable cause. There are many theories, but none have been found to be conclusive. There is, however, strong evidence that idiopathic scoliosis is inherited.

  4. Types of Scoliosis Congenital scoliosis Neuromuscular scoliosis Degenerative scoliosis Idiopathic scoliosis Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis Infantile idiopathic scoliosis • between 3-10 years of age • less than 3 years old • over 10 years old Would you like to know more ?

  5. Spinal Curvature Direction Location Dextroscoliosis Levoscoliosis • Spinal curve to the right • Occurs in the thoracic spine • Occur on its own forming a "C" shape • Curve bending the opposite way in the lower spine forming an "S" • Spinal curve to the left • Occur in the lumbar spine

  6. Spinal Curvature Direction Location Thoracolumbar scoliosis Thoracic scoliosis Lumbar scoliosis • curvature that includes vertebrae in both the lower thoracic portion and the upper lumbar portion of the spine • Curvature in the middle (thoracic) part of the spine • Curvature in the lower (lumbar) portion of the spine

  7. How to find Scoliosis • Tilted, uneven shoulders, with one shoulder blade protruding more than the other • Prominence of the ribs on one side • Uneven waistline • One hip higher than the other Curious to know more ? We are just a click away - info@deepammeditours.com

  8. Treatment Depends on… • Gender - females are more likely to have progressive scoliosis (gradually getting worse) than males • Severity of curve - the larger the curve the greater the risk is of it worsening over time • Location of the curve - if a curve is located in the thoracic (center) part of the spine it is more likely to get worse over time compared to curves in the lower or upper section.

  9. Bone maturity - the risk of curve progression is much lower if the patient's bones have stopped growing. Braces are much more effective while bones are growing. • Casting - in early cases the child's spine may have to be guided back into its normal position as it grows.

  10. Treat or Not to Treat? Bracing Observation Surgical Intervention

  11. Observation • The doctor will check every 4 to 6 months - if curve is getting better or worse. • Used for those who have a curve of less than 25 degrees and are still growing.

  12. Bracing Doctors may advise wearing a brace to stop a curve from getting worse, may be used when: • The person is still growing and has a curve of more than 25-30 degrees. • The person is still growing and has a curve between 20 -29 degrees that is getting worse. • Person has at least 2 years of growth remaining and has a curve that is between 20 -29 degrees. If a girl, she should not have started having her monthly periods yet.

  13. Surgery Surgery Criteria • Curve more then 40 degree • Progressive increase in scoliosis • Failure to conservative treatment • Cardiopulmonary complications Surgical Approach • Posterior Surgical Approach • Anterior Surgical Approach

  14. Objective of Surgery • To halt progression of the deformity • To straightened the curve (including Objectives rotational component) • To arthrodesisthe entire primary curve by bone grafting Are you aware of our latest technology? Visit: deepammeditours.com
