Assessment of the plane of maximum curvature in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using 3D ultrasound

Aims The size of the curves in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is traditionally assessed using 2D Cobb angles, which may underestimate the extent of this complex 3D deformity. The plane of maximum curvature, measured using 3D reconstructions of the spine, incl...
