Expressing Cobb Angle as Linear Measurement in Scoliosis and Its Significance: A Clinical and Geometrical Analysis of Scoliosis
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to formulate an objective clinical and geometric relationship between Cobb angle and the difference between the lengths of convex and concave sides (convexo-concave vertebral difference) of the structural curve in scoliosis. Is it possible to express Cobb angle in such a way that it could be visualized as a length, especially while planning for surgical corre...
متن کاملCobb Angle Measurement of Scoliosis with Reduced Variability
Cobb angle, which is a measure of spinal curvature, is the standard method for quantifying the magnitude of Scoliosis, related to spinal deformity in orthopedics. Determining the Cobb angle through manual process is subject to human errors. In this work, we propose a methodology to measure the magnitude of Cobb angle, which appreciably reduces the variability related to its measurement, compare...
متن کاملCobb Angle Measurement of Scoliosis Using Computer Measurement of Digitally Acquired Radiographs-Intraobserver and Interobserver Variability
STUDY DESIGN We evaluated computer assisted digital measurement of radiographic parameters in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. PURPOSE To assess the reliability of digital measurements. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Various authors analyzed scoliotic deformities by conventional radiographs, but very few studies have addressed the reliability of digital radiographic measurement using computer so...
متن کاملScoliosis: discs and vertebrae. Cobb angle: friend or foe?
Introduction Both vertebral and disc deformity contribute to scoliosis deformity, but the Cobb angle measures both, without distinguishing their relative magnitudes, which are approximately equal. (The disc deformity is greater in the lumbar region than in the thoracic.) Most attention has been given to the vertebral deformity, which apparently develops because of growth disturbance, and some s...
متن کاملComputer-assisted algorithms improve reliability of King classification and Cobb angle measurement of scoliosis.
STUDY DESIGN Interobserver and intraobserver reliability study of improved method to evaluate radiographs of patients with scoliosis. OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of a computer-assisted measurement protocol for evaluating Cobb angle and King et al classification. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Evaluation of scoliosis radiographs is inherently unreliable because of technical and human ...
