Fusion of the iliac apophyses with the crests of the ilium is of greater prognostic value than completion of excursion of the iliac apophyses. Completion of fusion of the vertebral ring apophyses coincides with fusion of the iliac apophyses to the crests. For accurate evaluation of the progression of the scoliotic curve, patients should be followed a few years after fusion of the iliac apophyses although progression after this stage is rare.
髂骨骨突与髂嵴融合比髂骨骨突移位完成具有更大的预后价值。椎环骨突融合的完成与髂骨骨突与髂嵴的融合同时发生。为了准确评估脊柱侧弯曲线的进展情况，尽管在此阶段之后进展很少见，但仍应在髂骨骨突融合后的几年内对患者进行随访。
