What one Doctor says about Juvenille Scoliosis

[Guest guest]

Dickson has pointed out that there are some problems with SRS

classification in that Juvenile-onset is heterogenous group and may

not exist. Early juvenile may actually be missed infantile. No clear

distinction between late juvenile and early adolescent. Alternative

classification proposed =

Early onset Curve occurs before age 5 yrs

Late onset Curve occurs after age 5 yrs

That sounds much more likely. Im thinking that is more probable that

younger children who dont grow height as quickly as teens, have

probably had this disorder since birth it has just progressed slower

than those diagnosed at an earlier age.
