[Three-dimensional Ultrasound Imaging of Coronal Curvature and Vertebral Rotation Changes from Supine to Standing in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis].
To investigate the gravitational effect on coronal curvature and vertebral rotation using 3-D ultrasound in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). ⋯ 3-D ultrasound can reveal changes of coronal curvature and vertebral rotation from a supine to a standing posture in patients with AIS, which increase with the severity of AIS. Further studies in large samples are warranted.
