Brief Summary

To examine the relationships between spine coronal alignment and lower limb biomechanical parameters in scoliotic adolescents

Conditions

Scoliosis

Keywords

scoliosis; spine alignment; lower limb; biomechanics

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Cobb's angle

  Cobb's angle for dorso-lumbar scoliosis. The angle of the curve apex from D10 to L4 will be assessed by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scanogram)

  at the enrollment

• Coronal balance

  Coronal balance estimated by the distance between plumb line and central sacral line from Anetroposterior x-ray view assessed by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scanogram )

  at the enrollment

• length of the the tibia and femur

  The length (in centimeter) of the Tibia and femur will be assessed by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scan-gram)

  at the enrollment

• tibiofemoral angle

  The tibiofemoral angle (TFA), or knee angle, is defined as the angle between the anatomical axis of femur with the anatomical axis of tibia. It will be assessed (in degrees) by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scan-gram)

  at the enrollment

• knee joint line convergence angle

  The knee joint-line convergence angle (KJLCA) h is the angle made by a tangential line between the femoral condyles and the tibial plateau. It will be assessed (in degrees) by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scan-gram)

  at the enrollment

• lower limb mechanical axis; and mechanical axis deviation

  The mechanical axis of the lower limb, also called the Mikulicz line, is drawn by connecting a point in the center of the femoral head to a point in the center of the ankle. The value of the deviation is measured in millimeters and is named mechanical axis deviation (MAD). It will be assessed by computed radiograph (X-ray computed scan-gram).
