Thumb test could simplify scoliosis care for teens
NCT ID NCT03904914
Summary
This study tested a new, simpler method to assess bone growth in teenagers using a thumb X-ray. The goal was to predict whether a spine curve from scoliosis is likely to get worse, which helps doctors decide on treatments like bracing. Researchers compared this new thumb-based method to older, more complex systems in 1,500 participants.
