Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders

Featured: 2016 SOSORT Guidelines

Read the latest article in our collection of SOSORT Consensus and Guidelines. The current article by Negrini et al proposes guidelines for the conservative care of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients as promoted by the international Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT). In the light of emerging evidence in the past five years on conservative treatment for scoliosis, the objective of the SOSORT Committee was to align such guidelines with the new scientific evidence and offer updated recommendations to assure faster knowledge transfer into clinical practice of conservative treatment of idiopathic scoliosis.

Aims and scope

Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders is an open access, multidisciplinary journal that encompasses all aspects of research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and cost-analyses of conservative and surgical management of all spinal deformities and disorders. Both clinical and basic science reports form the cornerstone of the journal in its endeavour to provide original, primary studies as well as narrative/systematic reviews and meta-analyses to the academic community and beyond. Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders aims to provide an integrated and balanced view of cutting-edge spine research to further enhance effective collaboration among clinical spine specialists and scientists, and to ultimately improve patient outcomes based on an evidence-based spine care approach.
