Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
  • Vertebrae and Bone Marrow
DEF

Combined lateral and rotational deviation of the vertebral column.

CONT

Rotoscoliosis is not always just a side to side curvature, but it can also involve an element of rotation, which is largely what causes the typical rib hump, as the rotation of the spine pulls the ribs around with it.

OBS

Rotoscoliosis is a term most often used to refer to curves with a strong rotational component, although it can be correctly applied to almost any scoliotic curve.
