Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Dans cette déformation transversale de la colonne vertébrale, la convexité désigne le côté droit ou gauche de la scoliose. En réalité, le déplacement du rachis se fait rarement dans le plan frontal strict, une rotation entraîne toujours une part de cyphose ou de lordose, qui, elles-mêmes sont rarement dans un plan sagittalantéropostérieur strict : c'est une torsion et non une inclinaison latérale. 2, record 1, French, - scoliose
