Measuring the kyphotic angle (KA) and lordotic angle (LA) on lateral radiographs is important to truly diagnose children with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. However, it is a time-consuming process to measure the KA because the endplate of the upper...
PURPOSE: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity with varying progression, complicating treatment decisions. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly prominent in orthopedic care, aiding in di...

The magnetically controlled growing rod technique is an effective surgical treatment for children who have early-onset scoliosis. The length of the instrumented growing rods is adjusted regularly to compensate for the normal growth of these patients....
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate machine learning algorithms to automatically extract the rod length of the magnetically controlled growing rod from ultrasound images (US) in a pilot study.
Predicting curve progression during the initial visit is pivotal in the disease management of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)-identifying patients at high risk of progression is essential for timely and proactive interventions. Bo...

INTRODUCTION: Patients have long turned to the Internet for answers to common medical questions. As the ability to access information evolves beyond standard search engines, patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and their parents may us...
BACKGROUND: Scoliosis is a spinal deformity in which one or more spinal segments bend to the side or show vertebral rotation. Some artificial intelligence (AI) apps have already been developed for measuring the Cobb angle in patients with scoliosis. ...
We aimed to analyze the cervical sagittal alignment change following the growing rod treatment in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) and identify the risk factors of sagittal cervical imbalance after growing-rod surgery of machine learning. EOS patients fro...
