Introduction

One of the most complicated problems of orthopaedics is the treatment of scoliosis. More than 90% of cases are attributable to idiopathic deformation, the cause of which is unknown. We investigated the cause and pathogenesis of this disorder.

Methods

At our institution, more than 6900 patients aged 1–89 years have undergone inpatient and outpatient treatment in connection with spinal pain syndrome and different neurological disorders associated with idiopathic scoliosis. This study was undertaken between February, 1996, and February, 2010. All patients had had clinical, radiographic, and laboratory examinations.
