ABSTRACT
Among Scandinavian paediatric spinal surgeons there has been a debate whether the prevalence of idiopathic adolescent scoliosis (AIS) has declined. We examined all children in the town of Hillerød, Denmark attending third and fifth grade (age 10 and 12) with forward-bending-test using a scoliometer. All children with more than seven degrees of trunk inclination were referred to a PA radiogram of the spine. We found a 0.4 percent prevalence of AIS with Cobbangles greater than 19 degrees. This is similar to earlier findings, suggesting that the declining referral rate is due to late detection of idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.
