About this study

Assessment of the role of Mehta Serial Casts in Curve Correction of Early Onset Scoliosis

Read the detailed description

Early Onset Scoliosis refers to various types of Scoliosis with onset before 10 years of age .In addition to spinal Deformity Progressive Scoliosis will also affect the development of thoracic cage and lungs . So Early correction is important .

Curve correction can done by operative and nonoperative techniques . Our Study include the curve correction by Mehta Serial Casts which not need for blood transfusion and has a good role in stop progression and delay the need for surgery .

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Difference of the scoliotic cobb angle at last cast

    Measurement of Cobb angle in every visit and find the difference of the Scoliotic Cobb angle between first and last visit to assist the Correction ( Cobb angle measured by X Ray
