Popis:	The risk of progression of idiopathic scoliosis is correlated primarily to factors that predict potential remaining skeletal growth. The aim of the current study was to evaluate spinal growth, measured as the length of the scoliotic spine on serial longitudinal radiographs, and its relationship to progression of the scoliotic curve. The retrospective study was based on measurements made on standing anteroposterior radiographs of 60 patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. In all patients, a Boston brace was prescribed during the followup period. Despite brace treatment, a significantly greater average progression rate of the scoliotic curve was seen in periods of rapid to moderate growth (greater than or equal to 10 mm per year) compared with periods of small or no growth (
