Primary outcome measure(s)
Scoliosis Curve Angle — Routine follow-up visits will be scheduled 6 months apart up to 36 months A long standard standing whole spine radiograph will be used for measuring curve size in terms of Cobb angle according to the standard Cobb method
Angle of Trunk Rotation — Routine follow-up visits will be scheduled 6 months apart up to 36 months In addition to spinal X-rays, a Scoliometer can also help monitor curve progression. The Scoliometer is an inclinometer that measures the asymmetries between the sides of the trunk by measuring axial rotation in degrees. Numerous studies have found a high correlation between trunk axial rotation (ATR) values and the Cobb angles.
