Anterior-posterior length discrepancy of the spinal column in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis – a 3d CT study

One of the characteristics of reported observations in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is that the thoracic spine is longer anteriorly than posteriorly, more pronounced around the apex than the transitional zones. This reversal of the normal kyphotic anatomy of the thoracic spine is related to questions of etiopathogenesis of AIS. The changes in the anatomy of the anterior column have been described rather in detail, however, the role of the posterior spinal column and the laminae has so far not been elucidated.
