First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Ponseti and Friedman suggest that curve type is genetically determined and that curve types do not change throughout its course. Nowadays, we see scoliosis as a more dynamic process. Therefore we ask ourselves can the natural history of idiopathic scoliosis can change during growth when the scoliosis is not treated.
