Terminology - glossary including acronyms and quotations in use for the conservative spinal deformities treatment: 8th SOSORT consensus paper

Abstract

BackgroundThis report is the SOSORT Consensus Paper on Terminology for use in the treatment of conservative spinal deformities. Figures are provided and relevant literature is cited where appropriate.MethodsThe Delphi method was used to reach a preliminary consensus before the meeting, where the terms that still needed further clarification were discussed.ResultsA final agreement was found for all the terms, which now constitute the base of this glossary. New terms will be added after being discussed and accepted.DiscussionWhen only one set of terms is used for communication in a place or among a group of people, then everyone can clearly and efficiently communicate. This principle applies for any professional group. Until now, no common set of terms was available in the field of the conservative treatment of scoliosis and spinal deformities. This glossary gives a common base language to draw from to discuss data, findings and treatment.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Brace Classification Study Group (BCSG): part one – definitions and atlas

“…Until now, 12 consensus papers have been published by the SOSORT [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], including a consensus on terminology that was used initially to form the basis of this work [14]. During the SOSORT annual meeting in Wiesbaden, Germany in May 2014, a consensus group was formed, chaired by Dr. Theodoros B. Grivas, to develop a new brace classification.…”

Idiopathic scoliosis

“…IS je najčešći tip skolioze [5]. Deli se na infantilne (IIS), juvenilne (JIS) i adolescentne (AIS) forme.…”

“…Prednosti ovog načina lečenja jesu u tome što manje utiče na svakodnevne životne aktivnosti i ima manje psiholoških efekata nego lečenje spinalnim ortozama [5]. Dostupne studije (stepen dokaza II-3) pružaju male dokaze da LESS ima bolji klinički ishod od spinalnih ortoza ili drugih oblika konzervativnog lečenja.…”

“…Skolioza dvaput češće pogađa devojčice nego dečake. Igra je bitan prediktor razlika u bavljenju fizičkim aktivnostima i češće je koriste jedanaestogodišnji dečaci nego njihove vršnjakinje [4].IS je najčešći tip skolioze [5]. Deli se na infantilne (IIS), juvenilne (JIS) i adolescentne (AIS) forme.…”

Emerging Technology and Analytical Techniques for the Clinical Assessment of Scoliosis

“…In recognition that a comprehensive description of the complex deformity and disorientation of the spine and adjacent skeletal structures extends beyond the scope of these standard anatomical terms, collective work has assembled detailed terminology to describe spinal deformity [20,36,37]. These work groups have provided terms of reference that describes deformity, alignment and shape of the spine, and the alignment (position/orientation) of individual vertebra and adjacent skeletal structures such as the pelvis, thorax and scapula.…”
