Vertebral Rotation in Functional Scoliosis Caused by Limb-Length Inequality: Correlation between Rotation, Limb Length Inequality, and Obliquity of the Sacral Shelf

Abstract

Background: Scoliosis is a structured rotatory deformity of the spine defined as >10° Cobb. Functional scoliosis (FS) is a curve p p p < 0.01). Conclusions: FS secondary to LLI can cause VR, and 5 mm of LLI can cause SSI and rotation.
