Risser plus Sign: a New Grading System to Classify Skeletal Maturity in Scoliosis Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ossification of the iliac crest is a commonly used classification system to estimate skeletal maturity in managing treatment for patients with scoliosis. The Risser sign has a North American and European variant used in past literature. The Risser Plus system is an 8 point system which combines the two variations into a common system while also assessing the triradiate cartilage (TRC) maturity. The Risser Plus system consists of Risser 0-(open TRC), 0+ (Closed TRC), 1, 2, 3, 3/4, 4 and 5. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the agreement of the Risser Plus system between 6 raters stratified across two continents (3 North American and 3 European)

Correlation and comparison of Risser sign versus bone age determination (TW3) between children with and without scoliosis in Korean population
BACKGROUND Most studies comparing the Risser staging for skeletal maturity are representing the American or European standards which are not always applicable to Asian population who have relatively less height and body mass. There is no article available that compares the Risser sign and bone age correlation between patients with idiopathic scoliosis and patients without scoliosis. MATERIALS...
متن کاملApplication of different measures of skeletal maturity in initiating weaning from a brace for scoliosis: two case reports
INTRODUCTION Various measures of skeletal maturity are used to initiate weaning from a brace in patients suffering from idiopathic scoliosis, resulting in different outcomes. We present two cases with double major curves, treated with the Rigo System Cheneau brace, and weaned using different criteria. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1 was a South African, Caucasian girl who was initially treated with ...
متن کاملA validity of ultrasound subdivision of Risser grade 4 in assessment of skeletal maturity.
In the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, one of the most frequently used technique to determine skeletal maturity is the method described by Risser. The ossification of iliac apophysis progresses from ventral to caudal through the four zones and the fusion of the iliac apophysis to the iliac crest (Risser grade 5) indicated vertebral growth completion, therefore the termination of s...
متن کاملIn brief: The Risser classification: a classic tool for the clinician treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Joseph C. Risser first described what now is called the Risser sign in 1958 [17]. Risser observed that the state of ossification of the iliac apophysis was associated with the state of a patient’s spinal skeletal maturity, a critical piece of information in the management of adolescent scoliosis [17]. His findings developed from work he did with Ferguson in 1936, which showed growth of the spin...
متن کاملOutcomes of brace treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with curve magnitude of 41 to 50 degrees
Methods AIS patients with age over 10 years, Risser sign of 0 to II, within one year postmenarche, Cobb angle of 41 to 50 degrees before treatment and underwent no prior treatment were included in the study. At the final follow-up after the patients reached skeletal maturity, the rate of the patients whose curve was stabilized by the treatment (the curve had not progressed in more than 6 degree...
