Spine Deformity Classification System

The Spine Deformity Classification System is a way doctors categorize spinal curves and deformities, like scoliosis, to understand their pattern, severity, and how they might progress. It helps in planning appropriate treatment by identifying specific types of deformities based on the shape and direction of the spinal curve, as well as associated features. This system standardizes diagnosis, ensuring clear communication among healthcare providers and guiding decisions for surgery, bracing, or observation. Essentially, it offers a structured way to describe and assess spinal deformities for better, consistent patient care.
