| Abstract | An ideal classification for any disease should be able to facilitate communication between doctors with high reliability, simple to remember, prognosticate the natural history, and guide its treatment. There have been many classifications proposed for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis since the early 1900s. Most of them are based on the pattern of the deformity in the coronal, sagittal and horizontal planes. This lecture will discuss the pros and cons of the commonly used classifications and whether they could serve all the purposes of an ideal classification. |
