describe infantile scoliosis (birth to age 3), juvenile scoliosis (ages 3 to 9), or adolescent
scoliosis (ages 10 to 18). Among all the various types, adolescent scoliosis is the most common.
These terms can be combined to more accurately describe a patient’s diagnosis. For example,
“adolescent idiopathic scoliosis” would reference a scoliosis patient between the ages of 10 to 18
whose cause of the disease is unknown.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article4142.html"><P><B>Congenital scoliosis:</B> This type of scoliosis is present at birth.
