![]() 5, Congenital Scoliosis Congenital scoliosis is caused by abnormal embryonic development of the spine.There are two basic types,one is dysplasia of segment of spinal cone. Abnormal segment exists between the spinal cone and the facet where non-segment forms a bone connection on one side, while the other side is relatively normal. The bone connecting is unable to grow, oppositely the normal side can grow normally, so the formation of scoliosis is present. Another is abnormal formation of the spinal cone. The cone has deformity on one side and presents with various wedge cone, much worse with semi-cone. ![]() These abnormalities can affect one or more than one cone. The proportion of case of congenital scoliosis is very low, but its damage on human physiology is the largest. Typically this scoliosis develops rapidly, the patient will see more significant changes in body shape at the age of 3 or 4.Allowing to develop freely without intervention, will lead to pulmonary hypoplasia and affect heart and lung function, and even neurological disorders caused by compression of nerve and spinal cord etc. Doctors generally do not recommend surgery as the patient is too young. Orthopedic brace in the clinic proved to be a good choice in conservative treatment. Firstly we use orthosis to control.Then patients can have surgery until they reach the age when surgery can be operated. Case II: Female patient with surname of Ceng was born in 2001. In 2003 she was looking around the doctors due to the abnormal body shape.The angle of thoracic scoliosis was 68 degrees, she was too young to have a surgery. In 2004 the angle grew to be 80 degrees.
In 2005 patient wore the fabricated orthosis which controlled the development and the angle within 60 degrees by reinforcing strength.In 2007 the angle maintained at 60 degrees by reviewing,it achieved the effect of control and created a condition for delaying the time of surgery.
