TERM torsion scoliosis? (Ger: Torsionsskoliose)

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

In French, I think this type of scoliosis would be " scoliose idiopathique " .

A 3-dimension type of scoliosis, representing a " torsion " of the rachis

(See, in French, sorry : http://www.epsante.com/kp77-2.html)

So, " idiopathic scoliosis " ?

HTH

Hi ,

I have a useful dictionary (Latin, DE, EN, FR, IT, RU, SP by Hippokrates

Verlag Stuttgart) solely on the spinal column by Herbert Junghanns, who has

written dozens of books on the subject. I got it when I translated one of

his tomes into English. I looked up Torsionsskoliose in the German index,

and was referred to the following entry:

" Vertebra torta " , syn.: Torsio vertebrae:

Deutsch:

Verwindung eines Wirbels

Wirbelverwindung

Wirbelschränkung

Englisch

Torsion of a vertrebra

Vertebral torsion

Addendum:

Verwindung (Verwringung) eines Wirbels in sich selbst unter

Beteiligung von Wirbelkörper

und Wirbelbogen. Kommt häufig bei Skoliose vor, die während der

Wachstumszeit entsteht (Torsionsskoliose).

Kombination mit Rotatio intervertebralis kann bestehen: [then

reference to this term, some of the synonyms

of which is " segmental rotation " , intervertebral rotary slipping

(or gliding) " ]

I would call it " scoliosis with vertrebral torsion " .
