The Prevalence of Hip Pathologies in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of abnormal spine curvature observed in patients age 10 to 18. Typically characterized by shoulder height and waistline asymmetry, AIS may drive uneven distribution of force in the hips, leading to increased rates of concurrent hip diagnoses. The relationship between AIS and concurrent hip diagnoses is underexplored in the literature, and to date, there has been little research comparing rates of hip diagnoses between patients with AIS and those unaffected.

Purpose

Assess differences in rates and clusters of hip diagnoses between patients with AIS and those unaffected.

Study design

Retrospective review of Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS).
