Abstract
Objectives Multiple studies have documented the presence of systemic osteopenia in AIS. Osteopenia was associated with severe curves and was reported to be one of the significant prognostic factors for curve progression in AIS. This study aimed to evaluate bone quality and bone strength parameters including rod-plate configuration and finite element analysis (FEA) with in vivo HighResolution Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) and to investigate their relationship with osteopenia in AIS Vs normal controls.
