Moderated by Dr. Ted Wagner, Dr. Walter Krengel, Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Washington Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Chief of Spine Service at Seattle Children's Hospital, offers evidence supporting either surgical or nonoperative care of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, a progressive spinal deformity affecting mainly young female patients at puberty. Dr. Chris Standaert, Clinical Associate Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine, Neurological Surgery and Orthopaedic Surgery, also provides a comprehensive analysis of "spondylolysis," which usually represents a stress fracture of the arch of the fifth lumbar vertebra and can affect a fair number of physically active patients around adolescence. He provides a critical review of clinical signs, appropriate diagnostic work-up and nonsurgical as well as operative treatment using currently available evidence.
