Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a controverted issue and has great variability in the clinical practice in Spain as well as in other countries, with lack of consensus among the different prestigious institutions that have made declarations.
AIS is the tridimensional deviation of the spine that includes vertebral rotation and presents without an apparent cause between 10 years old and skeletal maturation.
A curve is considered clinically significant if it is more than 10º (Cobb angle in a radiogram). The prevalence of bigger curves is about 15%.
