The diagnosis of scoliosis is based on the association of kyphosis, vertebral rotation, and lateral deviation of the spine. The clinical examination has to be rigorous in order to rule out a potential etiology for this tridimensional deformity. The assessment of the growth, and of the progressive nature of the scoliosis, is essential before any treatment. For minor deformities, a simple clinical monitoring will be necessary. On the other hand, for moderate deformities, a non-surgical treatment with brace will be recommended. Finally, for severe deformities, the treatment will be a surgical treatment. Surgery will consist of a spinal arthrodesis.
