Scoliosis
Scoliosis can occur in kids (adolescent idiopathic scoliosis) or in adults (degenerative). A grading scheme, called the Lenke classification system, is used to categorize the type of curvature. Patients develop deformity (rib humps, curvature of the spine, loss of height, shoulder tilt) or pain (either back pain or radiculopathy). Severe curves can uncommonly cause respiratory problems.
