Brief Summary

The study will be done retrospectively.The aim of this study is to retrospectively examine the spinal pathologies of patients with a prediagnosis of spinal deformity and for whom spinal radiography is requested and to evaluate the clinical features of these patients.

Detailed Description

Spinal radiography for scoliosis is the gold standard in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of spinal diseases. There are studies showing that unnecessary and repetitive radiographs of patients increase the risk of cancer in older ages. Patients should be thoroughly examined before a spine radiograph is taken. Adam's test should be applied to the patient with scoliosis findings in the physical examination. Spinal radiography for Scoliosis should be requested from those whose trunk rotation angle is 5 degrees or more during Adam's test. The diagnosis of scoliosis is made when the Cobb angle measured on posterior-anterior radiographs is greater than 10 degrees. The diagnosis of kyphosis is made when the Cobb angle measured on lateral radiographs is greater than 50 degrees. Patients with a prediagnosis of spinal deformity and spinal radiographs taken between January 2019 and September 2019 in the Radiology clinic of our hospital will be included in the study. Demographic characteristics of the patients, presence and degree of scoliosis on posterior-anterior radiographs, if present, degree of kyphosis on lateral radiographs, structural pathologies in the spine and clinical features will be investigated.
