To determine whether implant density impact three-dimensional deformity correction in posterior spinal fusion (PSF) without Ponte osteotomies (POs) for patients with Lenke 1 and 2 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Overview of... more
Abstract The thesis aims at organizing knowledge about the concept of idiopathic scoliosis and presenting the basis of the Schroth method, used for conservative treatment of scoliosis. The first chapter presents the general definition of... more
Introduction: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformative abnormality of the spine, defined by the Cobb's angle of spine curvature in the coronal plane, and is often accompanied by vertebral rotation in the transverse plane and... more
Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of a youth version of the EQ-5D five-level questionnaire (5LY) and its three-level version (3LY) in a sample of Chinese paediatric patients. Methods A consecutive... more
Objective Bracing along with exercising is the most effective protocol in patients with idiopathic scoliosis which have Cobb angles of 25 to 45 degrees. However, since the psychological aspects of scoliosis treatment may affect the... more
Background The Quality of Life Profile for Spine Deformities (QLPSD) is a self-reporting questionnaire designed for studying patients with spinal deformities. Purpose The aim of the present study was to systematically translate the QLPSD... more
SYSTEMATIC REVIEW • Cytokines may play an important role in the male reproductive system, and alterations in their structure and function may increase the risk of male infertility. • Interleukin-1-beta may affect sperm function by... more
Background Successful brace treatment entails good control of scoliosis with avoidance of surgery. However, achieving curve regression may be an even better radiological result than prevention of curve progression for patients with... more
Background Surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is only complete after achieving fusion to maintain the correction obtained intraoperatively. The instrumented or fused segments can be referred to as the ‘‘fusion mass’’. In... more
Surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is only complete after achieving fusion to maintain the correction obtained intraoperatively. The instrumented or fused segments can be referred to as the "fusion mass". In... more
Study Design. Prospective cross-sectional study. Objective. To determine the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing bracing, previously braced and observation only. Summary of... more
Abstract Introduction: Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformative abnormality of the spine, defined by the Cobb's angle of spine curvature in the coronal plane, and is often accompanied by vertebral rotation in the transverse plane... more
The International Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) produced its first guidelines in 2005 and renewed them in 2011. Recently published high-quality clinical trials on the effect of... more
Background: Non-surgical treatments for adult idiopathic scoliosis is sometimes prescribed for patients as an alternative to surgical interventions, but their effectiveness is uncertain. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the... more
Aims The aim of this study was to determine the influence of pelvic parameters on the tendency of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) to develop flatback deformity (thoracic hypokyphosis and lumbar hypolordosis) and its... more
Background: VDR may be considered as a candidate gene potentially related to Idiopathic Scoliosis susceptibility and natural history. Transcriptional profile of VDR mRNA isoforms might be changed in the structural tissues of the scoliotic... more
Most researchers agree that idiopathic scoliosis (IS) is a multifactorial disease influenced by complex genetic and environmental factors. The onset of the spinal deformity that determines the natural course of the disease, usually occurs... more
Objective. To examine general mental health in adult males and females, who in adolescence participated in a scoliosis-specific therapeutic exercise program or were under observation due to diagnosis of scoliosis.Design. Registry-based,... more
Study DesignProspective study.PurposeTo determine the risk of clinically significant curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) based on the initial Cobb angle and to test the utility of the distal radius and ulna (DRU)... more
Correspondence should be sent to J. P. Y. Cheung; email: cheungjp@ hku. hk The aim of this study was to assess whether supine flexibility predicts the likelihood of curve progression in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)... more
Patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) more frequently suffer dysfunctions of dento-skeletal complex. To our knowledge, no study has ever evaluated the temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) of AIS patients at least 23 years... more
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the walked distance and physiological responses during incremental shuttle walk test in patients with different degrees of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods: We evaluated 20... more
Study Design: Prospective study. Purpose: To determine the risk of clinically significant curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) based on the initial Cobb angle and to test the utility of the distal radius and ulna... more
Radiographic Cobb’s angle is the gold standard for evaluation of spinal curvature, however, X-ray is ionising. In contrast, ultrasound is non-ionising and inexpensive. However, no study has reported the reliability and accuracy of... more
