Conditions

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Interventions

This study is primarily observational. Several growth parameters are measured and observed in order to determine the relationship with the peak growth velocity and the scoliosis progression. Paramete

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All patients between 8 and 18 years, with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (Cobb angle >10o) visiting the outpatient clinic of the UMCG.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous spinal operation; 2. Skeletal dysplasia; 3. Abnormalities of maturation or height that would influence height measurements.
