Background context: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine with the most
prevalent type being adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The rotational spinal deformation …

Purpose Utilizing 2D measurements, previous studies have found that in AIS, increased
thoracic Cobb and decreased thoracic kyphosis contribute to pulmonary dysfunction. Recent …

Background Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional (3D) spinal
deformity characterized by coronal curvature and rotational deformity. Predicting curve …

Purpose The objective was to analyse the effect of thoracic morphology on pulmonary
function in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) to predict preoperative lung function …

Musculoskeletal multibody modeling can offer valuable insight into aetiopathogenesis
behind adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, which has remained unclear. However, the …

The morphology of the rib cage affects both the biomechanics of the upper body's
musculoskeletal structure and the respiratory mechanics. This becomes particularly …

In this study, the focus is on an implant used in the treatment of early-onset scoliosis called
magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR). The primary goal of the study is to address …

Purpose Pectus excavatum can negatively impact cardiac function during scoliosis surgery.
Several authors reported severe hypotension associated with the prone position during …

Purpose The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy and reliability of spinal curvatures
