Idiopathic scoliosis is a frequently occurring disorder of unknown cause that is the most likely spine deformity to be seen by the pediatrician or family physician. Very mild curves (up to 20 degrees) are periodically observed, under controlled measurement, but not actively treated. Moderate curves (20 to 45 degrees) or progressive curves of less than 20 degrees are treated with braces. Severe curves (more than 45 degrees) are usually treated surgically. The greatest need at the present time is for better early detection and prompt referral to an adequate treatment program.
特发性脊柱侧凸是一种病因不明的常见疾病，是儿科医生或家庭医生最有可能见到的脊柱畸形。在控制测量下，会定期观察到非常轻微的侧弯（高达20度），但不进行积极治疗。中度侧弯（20至45度）或小于20度的进行性侧弯采用支具治疗。严重侧弯（超过45度）通常采用手术治疗。目前最迫切需要的是更好的早期检测，并迅速转诊至适当的治疗方案。
