Study Notes
Lenke Classification System
- Comprises three components: curve type, lumbar spine modifier, sagittal thoracic modifier.
Scoliosis Curve Types
- Type 1: Characterized by a single, structural main thoracic curve.
- Type 2: Features double thoracic curves, consisting of proximal and main thoracic structural curves.
- Type 3: Known as double major; includes both a major main thoracic curve and thoracolumbar/lumbar structural curves.
- Type 4: Identified as triple major; involves structural curves in all three areas (thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar).
- Type 5: Reflects a single thoracolumbar/lumbar structural curve.
- Type 6: Includes a double curve with a major thoracolumbar/lumbar curve and a main thoracic curve.
Major Curves in Scoliosis Types
- Types 1-4: The thoracic curve serves as the major curve.
- Types 5-6: The thoracolumbar/lumbar curve is the primary curve.
Scoliosis Causes
- Idiopathic: Refers to an unknown cause of scoliosis.
- Congenital: Resulting from conditions such as spina bifida.
- Neuropathic: Associated with conditions like cerebral palsy.
- Myopathic: Related to muscular dystrophy (DMD).
- Traumatic: Often a result of motor vehicle accidents (MVA).
