- Abstract
Morphology, Development and Deformation of the Spine in Mild and Moderate Scoliosis: Are Changes in the Spine Primary or Secondary? If anything, we feel that the hypothesis rejected by the authors, that the posteriorly inclined segment is larger in scoliosis patients, is actually suggested in their data but masked by poor group selection of both the scoliosis and the control group. This is important, since a trend towards a smaller VP-KA/VP-LA ratio (i.e., higher kyphotic apex) in idiopathic scoliosis, probably corresponds to a relatively longer posteriorly inclined segment, which is opposite to the authors' conclusion but in line with other hypotheses in the literature [[3]].
