Assessment of Skeletal Maturity Using Proximal Femoral Epiphysis in Patients With Scoliosis
Validation of the Assessment of Skeletal Maturity Using Femoral Head in Patients With Idiopathic Scoliosis and Its Clinical Implications
The University of Hong Kong

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aims to explore the use of proximal femoral head for the assessment of skeletal maturity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim is to validate the use of the stages of proximal femoral epiphyseal closure in assessing pubertal growth landmarks in this patient cohort. The grading system of this skeletal maturity index will be established and its reliability and reproducibility in clinical use will be examined.

- Open triradiate cartilage or open distal radius epiphysis without capping
Exclusion Criteria4
- Non-idiopathic scoliosis
- Patients with growth hormone deficiency or developmental delay
- Patient has not reached skeletal maturity
- Defaulted and lost to follow-up
