Figure 2

No progression in a patient with 26° thoracic and 21° lumbar and failure of formation from the age of 10 (premenarchial) to the age of 14 (2 years postmenarchial). No cosmetic difference at the age of 10 (left Formetric® surface scan), at the age of 12 (right Formetric® surface scan) and at the age of 14 years at Risser 3-4 (clinical pictures on the right), when treatment and observation stopped. Although the clinical pictures and scans cannot be compared well, when looking at the outline of the figures no change in lateral deviation is visible.
