The spinal growth in scoliotic segments (T4-L4) of 110 girls with untreated idiopathic scoliosis was measured from two successive radiographs taken at a mean interval of 1.1 years. At the first visit the mean age of the patients was 14 years (range 11-16 years), the mean magnitude of the major curves 24 degrees (range 9 degrees-38 degrees) and that of the minor curves 14 degrees (range 2 degrees-38 degrees). Spinal growth was most rapid at the age of 11-12 years. The progression of the curves (major plus minor) correlated with the spinal growth (r = 0.384). The greater the initial curves were, the stronger the correlation was between the spinal growth and the progression of the curves (r = 0.046-0.639), and the correlation was more significant in thoracic scoliosis (r = 0.560) than in thoracolumbar and lumbar scoliosis (r = 0.152).
对 110 例未经治疗的特发性脊柱侧凸女孩的 T4-L4 脊柱侧凸节段的脊柱生长进行了测量,这些患者的连续两张 X 光片拍摄间隔平均为 1.1 年。首次就诊时,患者的平均年龄为 14 岁(11-16 岁),主要曲线的平均幅度为 24 度(9-38 度),次要曲线的平均幅度为 14 度(2-38 度)。脊柱生长最快发生在 11-12 岁。曲线的进展(主要加次要)与脊柱生长呈正相关(r = 0.384)。初始曲线越大,脊柱生长与曲线进展之间的相关性越强(r = 0.046-0.639),且在胸弯中相关性更为显著(r = 0.560),而在胸腰弯和腰弯中相关性较弱(r = 0.152)。
