Abstract
Following early diagnosis of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) it is very difficult to predict whether the curve will continue to increase and to what extent. A cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the implications of depth and width dimensions of individual vertebral bodies in adolescents with mild and severely progressive soliosis. Results revealed a tendency for depth/width ratios in severe AIS to increase, and those with mild scoliosis to decrease from 13 to 15 years of age. This was proposed as a basis for an additional tool for diagnosis of severely progressive AIS.
