Biomarker Longitudinal Idiopathic Scoliosis Study: Predicting Growth in Idiopathic Scoliosis
While there continues to be much that we do not know with regards to patient-specific measures of growth and growth potential, this study found that absolute height was the best measure of growth in adolescents with IS who are braced and CXM is the best measure of growth potential. Further study using advanced analytics will determine whether CXM in combination with other radiographic measures provides enhanced information from which to make clinical decisions regarding bracing and surgical intervention.
