Thanks macky.
I have come to understand that scoliosis is a particularly tough nut to crack. It certainly seems at this point that a good study is exceedingly hard to do. I have cut these researchers some slack on that lately. They still don't get a pass on obvious stuff but they get some latitude if they reel their conclusions in sufficiently.
In re Danielson, we have to ask... did they only start with these people in the graph or are those the only people they could track down? I suggest it is the latter which is raising data selection to a zen art.
Last, like a broken record, I am sitting here with IDENTICAL twins who have different scoliosises-es-es. Both right T curves but one curved very quickly and was highly rotated early while the other curved more slowly and has almost no rotation.
Until we get a handle on things like that, the ability to predict scoliosis trajectories is always going to be limited.
