Post-Maturity Progression in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Curves of 40° to 50

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves of 50° to 75° are inclined to progress and are thus indicated for surgery. Nevertheless, the natural history of curves of 40° to 50° following skeletal maturity remains uncertain and presents a clinical dilemma. The aim of this study was to determine the...

Zusammenfassung:	Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) curves of 50° to 75° are inclined to progress and are thus indicated for surgery. Nevertheless, the natural history of curves of 40° to 50° following skeletal maturity remains uncertain and presents a clinical dilemma. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, rate, and prognostic indicators of curve progression within this patient group. This was a retrospective study of 73 skeletally mature patients with AIS. Following yearly or more frequent follow-up, patients were stratified as having no progression (
