Talk by Dr Ajiantoro, MD Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon on Idiopathic Scoliosis in Children
Idiopathic scoliosis in children is a condition characterized by an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine with no identifiable cause. It typically manifests during the growth spurts of adolescence and is more common in girls than boys. The curvature can vary in severity, and while mild cases may require regular monitoring, more pronounced curvatures might necessitate bracing or surgical intervention to prevent progression. Early detection through routine physical examinations is crucial for effective management and to minimize potential complications, such as respiratory issues or decreased mobility. Treatment aims to maintain a functional spine and overall quality of life.
