Abstract
Cobb angle measures the shadows of the two limit vertebrae while scoliotic deformity is a complex 3D phenomenon. There is a deficiency of simple clinical methods of thorax shape evaluation. The objective of the study was to investigate the technique measuring thorax transverse plane deformity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis.

Thirty scoliotic girls, aged 14.4 ± 1.5 years, single thoracic scoliosis (Lenke 1), thoracic Cobb 54.1 ± 24.7°, and 30 healthy volunteers matched for sex and age (14.7 ± 1.8 years) were examined with Martin anthropometric caliper
