Abstract
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)is defined as deformity of the spine in coronal plane with more than 10 degrees of Cobb’s angle, which measures from the end-plates of the end vertebral bodies in a standing radiograph. It is accompanied by deformities in the sagittal plane together with axial rotational deformities. About 3.1% children suffer from scoliosis in Hong Kong, and similar number has been reported in other regions. The outcome measure for the treatment of patients with AIS relies heavily on the monitoring of coronal and sagittal curves, progression of deformity, and conservative and surgical management.
