SCHOOL SCREENİNG FOR SCOLIOSIS İN ANKARA
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1993, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
School screening is a technique of importance for early diagnosis of the spinal deformities. Through this meth-od, only observation and early bracing prevent costly and hazardous surgical interventions. 11, 116 students at-tending to the 6th-9th grades of secondary schoois in Ankara were included in this study. 2.4 percent were re-ferred for further evaluation. The voluntary school screening which is started in Ankara is an efficient method and worth continuing in following years.
