Just got my report from my scoliosis X-ray. I am an adult and only recently found out how bad my scoliosis is after having a ct scan for unrelated reasons. Turns out I am a mere 4 degrees away from the threshold where surgery is recommended.

Luckily my skeleton is fully matured according to the report so it’s not likely to get worse until I eventually get osteoporosis from old age like all birth-control snorting wamen.

Anyways, pictured here is my Cobb angle

Official Diagnosis Of Scoliosis+Cobb Angle

Good morning everyone. It’s been a minute since I have written on here. School started back and it has been both hectic and exciting at the same time. This semester, I am finally going to start being the co-clinician in my school’s speech and hearing clinic. I am elated about that.

Scoliosis for the USMLE’s

Scoliosis is the lateral curvature of the spine forming an “s” shape.  

Tests for scoliosis:

Scoliometry: nonspecific test but still used.  Angle ≥7 degrees (≥5 degrees in obese children) is diagnosed as scoliosis.

Better tool would be to measure the Cobb angle: <10 degrees is not scoliosis.  ≥10 degrees is diagnosed as scoliosis.  ≥40 degrees means they need surgical correction.

Further evaluation is required if the following red flags for a pathologic etiology are present:

Back pain

Neurologic symptoms

Rapidly progressing curvature (>10 degrees each year)

Vertebral anomalies on x-ray

We start with an x-ray of the spine to look for bone abnormalities but gold standard is MRI.

Hope this helps someone who needs a quick revision.
