CLASSIFICATION in IDIOPATHİC SCOLIOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Classification systems existing in ı'diopathic scoliosis either, try to explain structural deformity by means of dif-ferent anatomy or they merge from the needs of treatment such as in defining and selection of fusion levels. Al-though, idiopathic scoliosis is a three dimensional deformity, at present there is no classification that addresses scoliosis in three dimentions. İn this articie we reviewed existing classifications in choronological order.
