SRS-Lenke-Aubin 3D Classification for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis | Drs. Lenke and Aubin

Send a textJoin Dr. Grant Hogue as he talks with Drs. Lawrence G. Lenke and Carl-Eric Aubin about the new three-dimensional classification system for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) that has been introduced, addressing long-recognized limitations of traditional two-dimensional approaches and marking a significant step forward in how spinal deformity is described, studied, and treated. Published last month in Spine Deformity Journal, The SRS–Lenke–Aubin 3D classification of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis expands the widely adopted Lenke classification by formally incorporating transverse plane deformity by capturing vertebral rotation and regional curve orientation that have historically gone unmeasured in routine clinical classification. *The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) podcast is aimed at delivering the most current and trusted information to clinicians that care for patients with scoliosis and other spinal conditions.
