Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders

Table 2 Correlation between single 3-DEMO parameters and Cobb degrees in sagittal and frontal planes. Cobb and a Sagittal Index were obtrained with a sum of the angles in each radiographic plane, considering positive a right curve and lordosis, and negative a left curve and kyphosis.
