AB A  12-year-old  girl  presents  to  the  office  after  a  routine  school  screening.  She  was  told  that  she  has  an  abnormal  curvature  of  her  spine,  and  she  notes  an  unpleasant  hump  on  the  right  side  of  her  back.  She  is  found  to  have  a  right  sided  prominence,  shoulder  height  differences,  and  lateral  curvature  of  her  spine  on  examination  (Figures  91-1  and  91-2).  Neurological  examination  is  normal.  PA  and  lateral  x-rays  are  taken,  and  the  patient  is  referred  to  a  Pediatric  Orthopedic  surgeon  for  evaluation  and  management.
