Diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis
- Ortopedická klinika LF MU Brno a FN Brno
Scoliotic deformity represents serious spinal problem with consequentive affection of the spine as well as cardiopulmonal system. Clinical
and imaging examinations are essential parts of the complex examination with x-ray long film and the curve measurement using
Cobb angle assignment. Scoliotic curves up to 40 degrees are dedicated for conservative treatment (rehabilitation, orthosis). We indicate
scoliotic curves above 40 degrees for surgery. Surgical treatment includes curve correction using implants with spondylodesis by bone
grafts. Dispensarization and scoliotic treatment is multidisciplinary.
