Abstract
The aesthetic issue is one of the main aim in the treatment of Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) as defined by SOSORT. TRACE is a tool, recently developed, which standardize the subjective medical experts evaluation and has shown a fair sensitivity and repeatability in the everyday clinical setting for the evaluation of aesthetics in IS patients. Recently, it was also successfully investigated the possibility to introduce a set of objectives aesthetic parameters obtained by 3D reconstruction of the shape of the back of IS patients through surface topography by Formetric (eTRACE). Since there is no gold-standard for aesthetic evaluation of IS, a correlation between two existing measures allow to validate them as measurements tool of the same underlying physiological phenomenon. Our aim was to evaluate if there was a correlation between TRACE and e-TRACE.

We found strong correlations for most of the waist parameters (R range 0,476-0,856, Rq 0,227-0,732), good for scapulae and hemithorax (R 0,466 – Rq 0,217), fable for shoulders
