Curve Progression

Two studies focused on predicting curve progression in scoliosis available at the web site of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-

1-”Prediction of progression of the curve in girls who have adolescent idopathic scoliosis of moderate severity,” by Peterson and Nachemson, 1995

2-”The prediction of curve progression in untreated idiopathic scoliosis during growth,” Lonstein and Carlson, 1984

Unfortunately, these studies are best guesses at likelihood of progression and the bottom line is, as of now, it has not yet been determined how to predict with absolute certainty which curves will advance and which ones will not.
