A New Clinical Tool for Scoliosis Risk Analysis: Scoliosis Tele-Screening Test.

Study Design: Methodological, observational clinical study.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a virtual screening test to detect scoliosis risk initially by parents without the need for medical visit during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

Cross-cultural validation of the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life questionnaire: the ISYQOL international.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and its treatments can severely impact health-related quality of life. The Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) questionnaire, initially developed in Italian and tested on Italian people, was created to measure quality of life in young persons with spine changes. ISYQOL was created using the Rasch analysis, a modern psychometric technique for questionnaires' assessment and development, which showed that the ordinal scores of the ISYQOL Italian version provide sound quality of life measures.

Leg length discrepancy and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: clinical and radiological characteristics.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to present the clinical and radiological features of functional scoliosis due to LLD and LLD concurrent with AIS; it also aimed to define their relationships for differentiating functional scoliosis due to LLD and LLD concurrent with AIS.

Methods: This study was conducted as a single-center retrospective comparative study on 47 scoliosis patients with diagnosed LLD, aged 10-18 years. Cases with a diagnosis of structural LLD were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of concurrent AIS.
