“…The median age for the whole group was 10 years and 8 months, the girls' group was 11 years and 4 months and for the boys' group was 9 years and 6 months. Most of them, 31 in absolute numbers, in percentage 70,45% were between 9 and 13 years old, which is the average age for adolescence (7). The group that was mostly represented was that of the 12 years old, 15 in absolute numbers, percentage 29,55%.…”

Scoliosis is a tri-dimensional lateral curvature of the spine of 10° or more, with a rotational component. The most common form of scoliosis in the population is adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). As its name states, it has no known direct cause, even if, over time some evidence for multiple linked causes has been provided There is some evidence accumulated pointing to an association between AIS and posture control, where vision and vestibular systems are both involved We analysed the links between the curvature of the spine, its evolution and possible visual and vestibular impairment on 44 children with scoliosis. A postural aetiology of scoliosis in the visually and vestibular impaired population could be implied, since all the cases that could be defined as scoliosis and not as a scoliotic attitude (Cobb > 10º) were positive for the Fukuda Stepping Test and more than 60% of the patients that had a Cobb angle value higher than 15º had a type of visual impairment (myopia).

“…The mean age at diagnosis of scoliosis in 22q11.2DS patients was 11.6 ± 4.2, and 92 (49.7%) were female ( Figure 3 ). In literature, the mean age at idiopathic scoliosis diagnosis in the general population varies due to different screening and diagnosis protocols but is reported 9.5–13.6 [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Furthermore, the ratio of females to males in idiopathic scoliosis is reported as 1.44 to 1, corresponding to 59% females [ 26 ].…”

This broad range of reported age at diagnosis is caused by the many different scoliosis screening protocols in different countries.…”

To better understand the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis, prospective research into the pre-scoliotic state is required, but this research is practically impossible to carry out in the general population. The use of ‘models’, such as idiopathic-like scoliosis established in genetically modified animals, may elucidate certain elements, but their translatability to the human situation is questionable. The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS), with a 20-fold increased risk of developing scoliosis, may be a valuable and more relevant alternative and serve as a human ‘model’ for idiopathic scoliosis. This multicenter study investigates the morphology, dynamic behavior, and presence of intraspinal anomalies in patients with 22q11.2DS and scoliosis compared to idiopathic scoliosis. Scoliosis patients with 22q11.2DS and spinal radiography (n = 185) or MRI (n = 38) were included (mean age 11.6 ± 4.2; median Cobb angle 16°) and compared to idiopathic scoliosis patients from recent literature. Radiographic analysis revealed that 98.4% of 22q11.2DS patients with scoliosis had a curve morphology following predefined criteria for idiopathic curves: eight or fewer vertebrae, an S-shape and no inclusion of the lowest lumbar vertebrae. Furthermore, curve progression was present in 54.2%, with a mean progression rate of 2.5°/year, similar to reports on idiopathic scoliosis with 49% and 2.2–9.6°/year. The prevalence of intraspinal anomalies on MRI was 10.5% in 22q11.2DS, which is also comparable to 11.4% reported for idiopathic scoliosis. This indicates that 22q11.2DS may be a good model for prospective studies to better understand the etiology of idiopathic scoliosis.

“…Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex spinal deformity that can lead to serious deterioration of quality of life and functional impairment. Its prevalence has been often documented as up to 5% ( Konieczny et al, 2013 ; Yılmaz et al, 2020 ; Thomas et al, 2021 ), but recent work points to a prevalence of even 12% ( Sung et al, 2021 ).…”

The use of patient-specific biomechanical models offers many opportunities in the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, such as the design of personalized braces. The first step in the development of these patient-specific models is to fit the geometry of the torso skeleton to the patient’s anatomy. However, existing methods rely on high-quality imaging data. The exposure to radiation of these methods limits their applicability for regular monitoring of patients. We present a method to fit personalized models of the torso skeleton that takes as input biplanar low-dose radiographs. The method morphs a template to fit annotated points on visible portions of the spine, and it relies on a default biomechanical model of the torso for regularization and robust fitting of hardly visible parts of the torso skeleton, such as the rib cage. The proposed method provides an accurate and robust solution to obtain personalized models of the torso skeleton, which can be adopted as part of regular management of scoliosis patients. We have evaluated the method on ten young patients who participated in our study. We have analyzed and compared clinical metrics on the spine and the full torso skeleton, and we have found that the accuracy of the method is at least comparable to other methods that require more demanding imaging methods, while it offers superior robustness to artifacts such as interpenetration of ribs. Normal-dose X-rays were available for one of the patients, and for the other nine we acquired low-dose X-rays, allowing us to validate that the accuracy of the method persisted under less invasive imaging modalities.
