The Effect of Radiological Assessment of Volunteers for French Paratrooper Training: A Five-Year Retrospective Study.
J Spec Oper Med

Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the necessity of strict radiological assessments for military airborne recruits, finding that many are rejected for conditions like scoliosis and kyphosis, which might not pose significant risks during airborne training.
- Over a five-year period, 3,993 X-rays were analyzed with only 66 recruits (1.6%) deemed unfit; however, many who received waivers did not experience back pain after 5 years of training.
- The research indicates that lower standards could be considered regarding scoliosis and kyphosis, as they are less critical compared to more severe conditions like grade II or III spondylolisthesis in determining suitability for airborne operations.
