== Gender Ratio in Scoliosis == |

The introduction states that females are affected in a 4:1 ratio relative to males, but none of the sources (or their archives) mention a ratio. I have found a few references that have quoted a ≈10:1 ratio, as well as references mentioning that among diagnosed cases girls are more likely to see their cases progress. |

Problems with After-Surgery Care section
This section does not belong here. It is general advice about after-surgery care for any surgery, rather that being anything specific to Scoliosis surgery. It is also has a different (lower) level of assumed knowledge from the rest of the article: although there undoubtedly are readers who do not know what a catheter is (for example), such readers would never get to this point in such a fairly "advanced" article.
One solution to the issues I raise would be to transfer the contents of this section to a new article (if one does not already exist), and just to make a brief reference here to that article. I am not sufficiently experienced to attempt this myself, and in any case there may be other possible solutions.

Prevention (including)
Swimming and dipping in swimming pool (hydrodynamical and hydrostatical water properties are significant). Neurons regenerate more at water because of its hydrostatical and hydrodynamical properties.

History section?
The current history section reads so, so poorly; mostly because it has no paragraph breaks. I would do it myself but I wouldn't be certain where it is appropriate to break the text into paragraphs. Nerarth (talk) 00:41, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
- I agree the current monster one para History section is difficult to read. Two years ago the article had what I considered a pretty reasonable "History of surgical techniques" sub-section.[1] But this has been removed. I think that, at least, this might warrant reinsertion as part of a rewrite. In fact two years ago there was a much fuller section on Surgery in general - which I think should be at least partly recovered. Rwendland (talk) 10:53, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
Exercises
Evidence appears to be weak per [2] among other sources. Have trimmed the primary sources and adjusted to reflect this.
Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 08:22, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
- Have trimmed all the primary sources again.
- This is undue weight " (a radiation free imaging technique) to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation which may increase the risk of cancer"
- Appears to be a method of trying to get people to refuse pain xrays and demand MRIs. We would need a high quality review or position statement not a small chart review.[3]

Conflicting Statements
Initial paragraph of introduction states that "Typically, no pain is present", whilst the first item of Signs & Symptoms is pain.
BroomWhisk (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- This is because Wikipedia editors almost invariably falsify with their paraphrases. The source for "Typically, no pain is present" is actually quite interested in the pain which it demonstrates is more often present than not in adults. Untitled50reg (talk) 16:31, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Well since nobody had sorted this and I was waiting for coffee, I have changed the "Typically..." Untitled50reg (talk) 10:09, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
Edits
This paper does not mention the treatment in question
"schroth method.[1]"
This paper has an impact factor of 0.24 ie really low
Emergent research instead supports the use of the Schroth method in the treatment of scoliosis.[2]

- This review is better and says insufficient evidence https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6708126/ Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:57, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

other vertebrates
would the fact that scoliosis is known to occur in other vertebrates be notable? I was reading up on Temnospondyli and they were the first known fossilized case of a vertebra with scoliosis. was unsure which page this fact would belong on - possibly both? Read about it here: A hemivertebra in a temnospondyl amphibian: the oldest record of scoliosis (tandfonline.com) Feralcateater000 (talk) 03:58, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
Gender Ratio in Scoliosis
The introduction states that females are affected in a 4:1 ratio relative to males, but none of the sources (or their archives) mention a ratio. I have found a few references that have quoted a ≈10:1 ratio, as well as references mentioning that among diagnosed cases girls are more likely to see their cases progress.
