✦ Synopsis

Seventy-one patients attending a scoliosis clinic and 10 control subjects were studied by a stereoradiographic three-dimensional reconstruction of the spine and rib cage. The symmetry of each rib pair (at each anatomic level) was described by measurements of rib arc length, chord length, enclosed area, maximum curvature, and frontal and lateral angulations. Patients were divided into four groups: 19 with a single right thoracic curve, 15 with a single left lumbar or thoracolumbar curve, 22 with double curves, and 15 with a curve with <lo" Cobb angle. In the control group and the group with minimal scoliosis, there was no statistically significant rib asymmetry. Among the patients with scoliosis, 11 of 19 patients with right single thoracic curves had rib arc

A single fiber EMG (SFEMG) study was performed in 51 patients with idiopathic juvenile scoliosis of moderate degree (mean 23.8" of Cobb), aged 7-18 years (mean 13.2 years). The findings in the extensor digitorum communis muscle (EDC) include a moderate but significant increase in fiber density (mean
