Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) remains one of the most prevalent spinal deformities during adolescence, with significant implications for physical and psychological health. Advances in imaging, diagnostic criteria, and treatment modalities have continuously evolved to address the complex challenges posed by this condition. Understanding the etiology, progression patterns, and effective interventions for AIS is crucial for clinicians, surgeons, and researchers striving to improve patient outcomes.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for exploring novel diagnostic tools, cutting-edge surgical techniques, and interdisciplinary treatment approaches for AIS. By highlighting recent advances and identifying future directions, this collection will contribute to bridging the gap between research and clinical practice. We welcome original research articles, systematic reviews, and innovative case studies that address various aspects of AIS, including biomechanical insights, minimally invasive techniques, long-term outcomes, and patient-centered care strategies.
We look forward to your valuable contributions to this important endeavor, which aligns with Medicina's mission to disseminate impactful research across medical disciplines.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
