Scoliosis is a common spine condition diagnosed in children. Most cases of scoliosis are mild; however, it can progress as children grow. Early diagnosis is critical so that the condition can be managed before a growth spurt occurs in order to prevent worsening of the curve. Join the Stanford Children’s Health Orthopedic Surgery team to learn more about the prognosis of this condition and best practices for screening, early diagnosis, and management of pediatric scoliosis.
A Continuing Medical Education Conference presented by Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
