Scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis
Curve Fitness
Scoliosis or kyphoscoliosis is an abnormal alignment of the spine, which can be seen in most age groups. The incidence of idiopathic scoliosis over 10 degrees are estimated at 2-3% of children under 16 years occure, and less than 10% of children with curves greater than 10 degrees require treatment. For scoliosis in adolescents is more common in girls, and tends to increase during growth spurts of a child. OnceThe growth continues, we expect a curve less than 40%, well first stop.

An example of kyphoscoliosis, an abnormal forward (kyphosis), the alignment of the spine were a teenage boy with Scheuermann's kyphosis (humpback deformity of the spine), or the elderly with progressive degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, which led to a loss of normal balance and posture.

This alignment musculoskeletal abnormality of the spine is a cause of the elusive youthcalled idiopathic scoliosis. In our population, there is usually a progressive nature of degenerative diseases (arthritis) processes, while those of us can have, the average age is a mixture of the two methods mentioned above, in accordance with preexisting idiopathic scoliosis, which began to show signs of aging.
Classification
Scoliosis is in several categories, the prognosis of patients and the treatment involves classified. These categories are basedmay have influenced the cause of the disease, which caused, or progression of abnormal curvature of the spine. The most common types of scoliosis include:
· Idiopathic Scoliosis
• The degenerative scoliosis
Neuromuscular scoliosis ·
Congenital Scoliosis ·
· Post-traumatic scoliosis
The treatment of scoliosis
Treatment options for patients with scoliosis depends on a number of factors, including but not limited toThe amplitude scoliosis, the gifts of active progression of scoliosis, the patient's age, other symptoms such as back pain or leg pain, the specific diagnosis of the spine such as stenosis, tumors, infections, herniated discs, arthritis, and Finally, donations from other conditions not related to the spine, the patient's ability to surgery, such as heart, kidney or may undergo lung. The treatment of scoliosis is very simple and can be summarized in three mainOptions.
· Remark
· Bracing
· Surgery
Most patients with scoliosis can be observed and will not require surgery. Reinforcement is only for the skeleton or the young patient that is growing with a high risk of progression without the curve. Decisions concerning its orthopedic reinforcing your child's skeletal maturity, size and position of the curves of scoliosis. The period of time in average range from a series ofThe above parameters. Reinforcement is indicated in adults appear to treat their corner, but can be used to control the pain of degenerative joint disease.
Not all surgeons, the work of scoliosis of the spine are formed and most were treated for scoliosis are orthopedic surgeons, additional training during their stay, and completed a fellowship Orthopaedic separated from the spine, with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of patients withfor the above types of scoliosis.
Idiopathic Scoliosis
Previous scientific studies of idiopathic scoliosis has painted a bleak picture for people with scoliosis, which often perpetuate the misconception that idiopathic scoliosis in children with a disability because of back pain in adults and problems of heart and lung. The shortcomings of this first study were exhibited, as often contain severe scoliosis (neuromuscular, congenital, etc.), which are often moredramatic natural history and prognosis. The reality is that scoliosis does not usually predict future problems and that these curves of scoliosis rarely progress if left untreated, will lead to future problems. It 'is therefore very important that all those suspected of scoliosis by an orthopedic surgeon spine carefully evaluated. Rapid diagnosis followed by a series of several years, and early treatment can prevent future scoliosisProblems.
Degenerative Scoliosis
The main problem with degenerative scoliosis is the potential for the progressive loss of normal posture. This problem can be very debilitating, leaving the individual to stand up and look ahead to wait (normal horizontal line of sight), and a dramatic increase in oxygen and energy. This increase in energy demand by the patient increases almost linearly with the largest magnitude of kyphosis. Stephen Ondrapublished in Spine Journal in 2007 that the patient should start with a position of 25 degrees forward, a 25% increase in energy needs and the patient with a body posture toward the front of 50 degrees to see an increase in the 60 % of energy to walk and maintain a normal daily life activities planned. Having a proactive attitude that the woman here is very debilitating. Surgery for these patients to relieve often, and way of life better across the back of many individualActivities of daily living than the rest of us take for granted. The vast majority of patients undergoing this surgery to heal his extensive degenerative kyphoscoliosis are very satisfied with their results.
If you or a family member has scoliosis or other conditions cable is presented in the context of pain Scoliosis is an initial examination with radiographs is important to see and follow the serial test for progression of scoliosis in an attempt to prevent futurePersons with disabilities.
