The value of surface topographical measurements in the assessment of curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is demonstrated in a group of 51 patients. Cobb angles at the commencement of the study ranged from 10 degrees -55 degrees (mean 34.5 degrees), and the mean follow-up period was greater than 2 years. The surface shape method correctly identified curve evolution in 84% of the patient group. Of these, the eight patients who underwent spinal instrumentation were correctly predicted as candidates for surgery.
在一组51例青少年特发性脊柱侧凸患者中，证实了表面地形测量在评估脊柱侧凸进展中的价值。研究开始时的Cobb角范围为10度至55度（平均34.5度），平均随访期超过2年。表面形状法在84%的患者组中正确识别了曲线演变。其中，接受脊柱内固定的8例患者被正确预测为手术候选者。
