<bold>Figure 26.7</bold> Scoliosis checkup. (<bold>A</bold>) Viewing from the back, the examiner checks the symmetry of the girl's shoulders. She will also look for a prominent shoulder blade, an unequal distance between the girl's arms and waist, a higher or more prominent hip, and curvature of the spinal column. (<bold>B</bold>) With the child bending over and touching her toes, the examiner checks for a curvature of the spinal column.

Scoliosis. Scoliosis is the abnormal lateral and rotational curvature of the vertebral column.

Imaging of the lumbar spine in four separate patients with low back pain, two with L4 spondylolysis <bold>(A,B,C,D,E)</bold> and two with L5 spondylolysis <bold>(F,G,H,I,J,K)</bold> demonstrates the multimodality approach to imaging when assessing for spondylolysis/spondylolisthesis. Conventional lumbar radiographs, including lateral and bilateral obliques (A,B,C) nicely demonstrate the bony break (<italic>arrows in A</bold>) within the region of the bilateral L...
