Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of structural spinal deformities
that have a radiological lateral Cobb angle—a measure of spinal curvature—of≥ 10. AIS …

In the anatomy of a normal spine, due to the curvatures in various regions, the C7 plumb line
(C7PL) passes through the sacrum so that the head is centered over the pelvic-ball and …

Background: Decreased pelvic mobility and pelvic retroversion may result from spinal
degeneration and lead to changes in the orientation of the acetabular implant after total hip …

Background: The sagittal-plane curvatures of the human spine are the consequence of
evolution from quadrupedalism to bipedalism and are needed to maintain the center of mass …

Introduction Magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGR) for the surgical treatment of early
onset scoliosis (EOS) allow non-invasive outpatient based distractions during spinal growth …

Objective To investigate the effect of age and sex on odontoid parameters and their
relationships with cervical sagittal alignment in children. Methods A total of 155 Chinese …

Background Thoracic scoliosis has been shown to be associated with hypokyphosis in
