Thoracolumbar scoliosis: curves tend to be out of balance, with head displaced away from midline of pelvis.

OBS

The thoracolumbar curve, a fairly common idiopathic curve pattern, usually consists of both right and left types. The upper end vertebra is T-4, 5, or 6, and the lower end vertebra is L2, 3, or 4. In addition, if there is a right thoracolumbar curve, there is usually a compensatory upper left thoracic or cervical curve and a lower left lumbar curve.
