AI Article Synopsis
- The article analyzes how growth impacts spinal and rib cage deformities, particularly focusing on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and the role of the rib cage in this condition.
- It discusses the genetics and epigenetics associated with AIS, and a novel field of research exploring how nighttime sleep affects the progression of scoliosis.
- The author argues that changes in vertebral growth during the development of idiopathic scoliosis are secondary effects of uneven loads on the spine, rather than primary issues within the vertebral bodies themselves.
Article Abstract
In this opinion article, there is an analysis and discussion regarding the effects of growth on the spinal and rib cage deformities, the role of the rib cage in scoliogeny, the lateral spinal profile in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), the genetics and epigenetics of AIS, and the interesting and novel field investigating the sleep impact at nighttime on AIS in relation to the sequence of the scoliogenetic changes in scoliotics. The expressed opinions are mainly based on the published peer-reviewed research of the author and his team of co-authors. Based on the analysis noted above, it can be postulated that the vertebral growth changes in the spine during initial idiopathic scoliosis (IS) development are not primary-intrinsic but secondary changes. The primary cause starting the deformity is not located within the vertebral bodies. Instead, the deformations seen in the vertebral bodies are the secondary effects of asymmetrical loads exerted upon them, due to muscular loads, growth, and gravity.
