Age Peculiarities of Clinical Manifestation and Development Dynamics of Spine Deformity in Idiopathic Scoliosis

Age terms of spine deformity primary manifestation were studied in 2006 patients with idiopathic scoliosis of various severity degrees. It was determined that first clinical signs of idiopathic scoliosis were revealed in children under 10 years, i.e. before the beginning of puberty. Analysis of data obtained enabled to detect the real share of various types of scoliosis deformity development for different terms of its first manifestation. This gives the possibility to consider the age of initial scoliosis deformity sing as a prognostic factor for the assessment of further orthopedic pathology development in concrete patients with idiopathic scoliosis.
