An examination of the transverse plane aspect of deformed vertebrae from specimens of both human and animal scoliosis identified a consistent pattern of intravertebral deformity. In the animal model, dynamic bone growth studies illustrated bone drift in the opposite direction to the rotation of the scoliosis, suggesting that the bone growth in the transverse plane was attempting to correct rather than produce the deformity. The observed pattern of vertebral deformity can be explained in simple terms because it obeys the standard laws of bone growth and remodeling. This observed growth pattern is consistent only with the production of idiopathic scoliosis by the rotation of a primary lordosis.
对人类和动物脊柱侧弯标本中变形椎骨的横断面进行检查，发现了一致的椎体内畸形模式。在动物模型中，动态骨生长研究表明骨漂移方向与脊柱侧弯的旋转方向相反，这表明横断面的骨生长试图纠正而非产生畸形。观察到的椎体畸形模式可用简单的术语解释，因为它遵循骨生长和重塑的标准规律。这种观察到的生长模式仅与原发性脊柱前凸旋转导致特发性脊柱侧弯的情况相符。
