dawn,
i know you asked carmell, but just the way that the report is written means that this ortho does not know how to deal with infantile/idiopathic or congenital scoliosis (referring to adolescent idiopathic scoliosis). you definitely need to get another opinion.
my thinking structural = congenital, but you would think the ortho would have noted fused or hemi vertebrae or fused ribs from the x-ray.
constitutional??? no idea
yes, there are different categories of idiopathic scoliosis by age of detection -
0-3 yrs infantile
3-10 yrs juvenile
10 - __ yrs adolescent
hope this helps.
