CT examination of 9 patients with primary thoracic right sided scoliosis aged from 13 to 19 years (15 years and 4 months on an average) was carried out. The angle of curvature (Cobb method) ranged from 38 degrees to 99 degrees (68 degrees on an average). Rotation of the apical vertebra was measured and torsion evaluated. Rotation ranged from 5 degrees to 28 degrees (17 degrees on an average). No relation among rotation, angle of curvature and size of the hump was found. The directions of rotation and torsion were opposite. At the apex of curvature due to torsion the end of spinous process was deviated towards the hump but the vertebrae into opposite direction.
对9例年龄在13至19岁（平均15岁4个月）的原发性胸段右侧脊柱侧弯患者进行了CT检查。采用Cobb法测量的侧弯角度在38度至99度之间（平均68度）。测量了顶椎的旋转情况并评估了扭转程度。旋转角度在5度至28度之间（平均17度）。未发现旋转、侧弯角度与驼峰大小之间存在关联。旋转方向和扭转方向相反。在侧弯顶点处，由于扭转，棘突末端偏向驼峰侧，但椎体却向相反方向偏移。
