Questions to Ponder What is Scoliosis?

Presentation transcript:

Scoliosis BY: KALENE GETZ

Case Study:  Chief complaint- developing pain at her upper back.  During examination, a positive tenderness at the thoracic vertebrae, and a limitation on bending forward was noted.  Mild case of Scoliosis  Personal/ social history- very active in sports, no history of hospitalization, and no surgical procedure.  Family history- mother had hypertension, diabetes, and mild scoliosis. Father has bronchial asthma.

What is Scoliosis?  A lateral curvature in the normally straight vertical line of the spine ("Scoliosis of the Spine: Image, Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments").  Curvature goes unnoticed by many.  One way it goes unnoticed is the grueling intenseness of sports.  Detected during school screening exams, and or physicals done by a physician that comes to school.  Diagnosis of scoliosis and the determination of the type are made by a careful bone exam and an x-ray to evaluate the magnitude of the curve ("Scoliosis of the Spine: Image, Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments").

Curvatures 3 different degrees of scoliosis: mild, moderate, and severe. Mild- less than 25°, may have tilted head or uneven shoulders("What is Scoliosis? Mild, Moderate, Severe"). Moderate- curve of 26-40°, may or may not be associated with pain, may feel “clumsy” ("What is Scoliosis? Mild, Moderate, Severe"). Can start to affect the way you do things. Severe- curve is above 40° and has a 90% risk of progression. Spine may be visualized as a "C" or "S" shape beneath the skin ("What is Scoliosis? Mild, Moderate, Severe"). Mild Scoliosis Moderate ScoliosisSevere Scoliosis

Treatments Braces:  The type will depend on the location of the curvature.  How severe it is.  As a patient is still in their growing stages it is better for them to be put into braces to let the spine straighten out on its own.

Treatment continued…  Surgery:  Suggested for patients with curvatures over 50 degrees.  If braces have failed  Inserting a steel rode to help support the vertebrae.  Bone grafts to make the bone stronger and give better support to the fused vertebrae ("Scoliosis - Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment of Scoliosis - NY Times Health Information").
