The past 10 years have seen a rapid advancement in the understanding of idiopathic
scoliosis. Physicians now are informed better about the natural history and specific
curve behavior. It is now easier to determine which curves are likely to progress
and put the child or adolescent at risk. Treatment can be more selective.
