The longitudinal axis rotation of the apical vertebra, the vertebral, spinal, and rib cage deformity in idiopathic scoliosis studied by computer tomography. 1981

S Aaro, and M Dahlborn

The correlation between the lateral curve, the location and the length of the curve, and the longitudinal axis rotation of the apical vertebra has been studied in 65 patients with idiopathic scoliosis using computer-assisted tomography. This method provides the opportunity to describe the relationship between the rib hump, the longitudinal axis rotation, the lateral curve, and the kyphosis-lordosis with exceedingly small radiation doses. The vertebral rotation was found to be correlated to the lateral curve but not to the location of the length of the curve. The longitudinal axis rotation of the vertebrae is the most important factor for the development of the rib hump which is further accentuated by increased lordosis.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007738	Kyphosis	Deformities of the SPINE characterized by an exaggerated convexity of the vertebral column. The forward bending of the thoracic region usually is more than 40 degrees. This deformity sometimes is called round back or hunchback.	Hyperkyphosis,Hyperkyphoses,Kyphoses
D008141	Lordosis	The anterior concavity in the curvature of the lumbar and cervical spine as viewed from the side. The term usually refers to abnormally increased curvature (hollow back, saddle back, swayback). It does not include lordosis as normal mating posture in certain animals (
