對於一個物理治療師而言
scoliosis之Xray判讀有幾點要注意
1. 當然最簡單就是Cobb's angle: (lateral curvature)
整個curve的上緣線和下緣線之選擇
注意黃色與粉紅色塊之tilt方向(以紅色箭頭表示)剛好相反
則此上下兩個vertebrea就是curve的最上與最下
再於最上椎體之上緣和最下椎體之下緣劃兩條線
其交角即是Cobb's angle (為scoliosis之frontal plane change)
由於交角常延伸於X光片外所以改定義為從此兩線各劃一垂直線其交角之銳角即是
以上圖而言其Cobb's angle為58度
Apex為紅色塊
2. apex rotation
我們一般將Apex依照其角度之大小分為四級:
第一級:0-20
第二級:21-30
第三級:31-50
第四級:51-75
當然度數愈高其嚴重度也愈大
此外Apex一般之椎體rotation最大(推斷scoliosis之transverse plane change)
我們判讀依pedicle之方位與數目分grade 0~+4
正常情況下我們能看到 2 pedicles (如grade 0)
虛線圓就是pedicle
0: 兩個pedicles平均各據一方
+1: pedicle往中線移動
+2:pedicle往2/3中線處移動
+3:pedicle移動至中線 (只剩一個)
+4:pedicle移動超過中線 (只剩一個)
3. 最好還能照一張sagittal plane (lateral view)
如此即大約可建構出其spinal curve之3D影像
4.Risser Grade:預估脊椎骨骼之成熟度 (skeletal maturity):
ilium之ossification從ASIS開始逐漸往後
我們將iliac crest之縱切面分成4個quarters,即grade1-4
grade 5就是完全fuse
簡單的說risser grade愈小其curve progression之機會愈大
相對來說其治療之potential更要加強。
下面是一位13歲女生的whole spine X-ray, 請計算出其cob's angle和risser grading(並說明其意義):

cobb angle約為35度 risser sign 看起來應是grade 1 risser sign 的grade有分5級 而他是看iliac crest的骨化程度 一般來說 grade 1跟2代表骨頭成長的機會還滿大的,而3以上就代表骨化程度相當高,其自然進步空間較小 以這個病人來說 他的cobb angle是35度(未大於40度),而risser sign是grade 1,我會建議他先穿背架及做運動一段時間,看是否能矯正回來,若不行,再考慮是否開刀。 參考資料:以前的上課筆記
定義: Cobb's angle measurement used for evaluation of curves in scoliosis on an AP radiographic projection of the spine. When assessing a curve the apical vertebra is first identified; this is the most likely displaced and rotated vertebra with the least tilted end plate. The end/transitional vertebra are then identified through the curve above and below. The end vertebra are the most superior and inferior vertebra which are least displaced and rotated and have the maximally tilted end plate. A line is drawn along the superior end plate of the superior end vertebra and a second line drawn along the inferior end plate of the inferior end vertebra. If the end plates are indistinct the line may be drawn through the pedicles. The angle between these two lines (or lines drawn perpendicular to them) is measured as the Cobb angle. In S-shaped scoliosis where there are two contiguous curves the lower end vertebra of the upper curve will represent the upper end vertebra of the lower curve. Because the Cobb angle reflects curvature only in a single plane and fails to account for vertebral rotation it may not accurately demonstrate the severity of three dimensional spinal deformity. As a general rule a Cobb angle of 10 is regarded as a minimum angulation to define scoliosis. Risser's sign a grading system for ossification of the iliac crest apophysis which can be helpful in the prediction of spinal curve progression. Radiographically, ossification of the iliac crest begins laterally and then extends medially and eventually fuses to the ilium. The Risser grading system divides this progression into four stages: Risser 1: ossification of the lateral quarter Risser 2: ossification of the lateral half Risser 3: ossification of the lateral three-quarters Risser 4: complete ossification without fusion. Risser 5: fusion of the ossified apophysis to the ilium. A: The 13 y/o patient's cobb's angle: 25 degrees; risser sign: 4 意義: curve magnitude of cobb's angle愈大,代表the tedency of progress 程度也愈高。risser sign看的是生長板的骨化及癒合程度,還未生長完全的脊椎愈容易加重側彎的程度。這個病人屬於中度脊椎側彎(20~40 degrees 偏向容易惡化),而生長板已鈣化(比較不易惡化)。 惡化率(risser sigh & cobb's angle):23% 建議: 每4month 照一次x-ray,如果惡化除了原本的physical therapy 以外,配合穿戴背架 資料來源: 1。http://www.medcyclopaedia.com/ 2。http://www.pro-med.com.tw/edu/whatisscoliosis.htm

PO兩次= =20~40度ㄉ PO錯了 Risser’s sign 分級 Risser 1 : 側向處所的僵化 Risser 2 : 側向一半的僵化 Risser 3 : 僵化側向四分之三 Risser 4 : 完成僵化,不用融合。 Risser 5 : 僵化的隆起的融合向腸骨
病人的Cobb angle 約為23°左右,Risser granding 為2。 在臨床上,當Cobb角度介於20°-40°,屬於moderate scoliosis。從X-RAY中可以看到iliac約有一半左右出現鈣化,因此Risser granding為2,表示其生長板尚未完全癒合,惡化的程度較高(11%)。如果配合上Cobb angle來看,惡化率約為23%。 這樣的病人可以進行保守治療,例如脊椎關節矯正、物理治療、運動治療。但因有可能出現惡化情況,故每4個月要照一次X-ray,確定scoliosis的情形。如果有惡化情形,需以保守治療配合穿戴背架。 參考資料 學校講義 http://www.pro-med.com.tw/edu/whatisscoliosis.htm
the cobb's angle 約為18度,而 Risser sign為 grade 3, Risser sign主要用來判斷其骨骼的成熟度, 看iliac crest 其鈣化的程度,可分為grade 0-5, grade 1-4劃分為25%至100%,grade 5指iliac crest 與ileum完全fusion.若是grade 0表缺少鈣化,grade1,2代表骨骼仍尚未成熟, 而grade 3表示骨骼是正在成熟當中, grade 4表示spine開始停止生長,若達到grade 5則開始停止長高. 所以這個13歲的女孩, cobb;s angle約為18度,雖然尚屬mild scoliosis(<20度),但已在邊緣,另外Risser sign grade=3 其骨骼尚在成熟中,這樣在預估預後時,其預後也是較差的,因為隨著成熟,脊椎側彎惡化的可能性也較高.
1.cob's angle: 從開始變形的那一節平行disc劃一條水平線(上下各有一條水平線)兩條水平線再劃出其鉛垂線,兩條鉛錘線相交的角度就是cob's angle (表示scoliosis的程度) -此病人cob's angle約為30度 2. Risser's Sign Risser 1: 25% iliac apophysis ossification Anterior Superior iliac spine (anterolateral) Seen in prepuberty or early puberty (通常為青春期前) Risser 2: 50% iliac apophysis ossification Ossification extends halfway across iliac wing Seen immediately before or during growth spurt Risser 3: 75% iliac apophysis ossification. Indicates slowing of growth Risser 4: 100% ossification, with no fusion to iliac crest . Indicates slowing of growth (完全鈣化,但沒有與iliac crest相融合) Risser 5: Iliac apophysis fuses to iliac crest. Indicates cessation of growth (生長停止,與iliac crest相融合) --主要可以利用risser's grading來測量骨頭的年齡 所以可以得知spine的成熟程度,藉此幫助我們測量scoliosis的發展程度 資料來源:http://www0.sun.ac.za/ortho/webct-ortho/age/risser.html

Cobb's angle Cobb's angle, a measurement used for evaluation of curves in scoliosis on an AP radiographic projection of the spine (Fig.1). When assessing a curve the apical vertebra is first identified; this is the most likely displaced and rotated vertebra with the least tilted end plate. The end/transitional vertebra are then identified through the curve above and below. The end vertebra are the most superior and inferior vertebra which are least displaced and rotated and have the maximally tilted end plate. A line is drawn along the superior end plate of the superior end vertebra and a second line drawn along the inferior end plate of the inferior end vertebra. If the end plates are indistinct the line may be drawn through the pedicles. The angle between these two lines (or lines drawn perpendicular to them) is measured as the Cobb angle. In S-shaped scoliosis where there are two contiguous curves the lower end vertebra of the upper curve will represent the upper end vertebra of the lower curve. Because the Cobb angle reflects curvature only in a single plane and fails to account for vertebral rotation it may not accurately demonstrate the severity of three dimensional spinal deformity. As a general rule a Cobb angle of 10 is regarded as a minimum angulation to define scoliosis. Risser's sign a grading system for ossification of the iliac crest apophysis which can be helpful in the prediction of spinal curve progression. Radiographically, ossification of the iliac crest begins laterally and then extends medially and eventually fuses to the ilium. The Risser grading system divides this progression into four stages: Risser 1: ossification of the lateral quarter Risser 2: ossification of the lateral half Risser 3: ossification of the lateral three-quarters Risser 4: complete ossification without fusion. Risser 5: fusion of the ossified apophysis to the ilium. As the iliac wings are frequently included on a full length spine radiograph the Risser sign may be used to estimate skeletal maturity without the need for additional radiographs. There is a much higher probability of spinal curve progression for children who are Risser 0 or 1, than for children who are Risser 2 to 5. In girls Risser 4 (Fig.1) generally corresponds with completion of spinal growth and the mean period between onset of iliac ossification and Risser 4 is 1 year. The Risser sign is considered a less reliable indicator in boys, with iliac ossification starting relatively early with respect to further growth potential.
cob's angle測量,一般適用前後觀的X-ray. 劃一條平行於近端最末節椎體下緣的線,在各自劃出垂直線,兩垂直線交叉的交角就是側彎的角度. Risser grading 脊椎側彎的角度達到25度且骨骼尚未成熟便需密切追蹤。一般青少女進入生長快速期,約3至4個月追蹤一次; 若無明顯增加超過5度時,則改為6個月追蹤一次,直到骨骼成熟期。骨骼尚未成熟的脊椎側彎站立角度達25度以上40度以下時,建議穿著背架治療並且仍需定期追蹤到腸骨上塉第四度(Risser grade 4)才可以脫除背架。脊椎側彎背架治療的目的僅是穩定角度直到骨骼成熟期。它的效果約有8成,但不可能使側彎角度回復正常。背架不需穿著一輩子,而且骨骼發育成熟或角度超過40度病患也無使用之必要性。骨骼發育成熟的脊椎側彎病患,若胸椎側彎角度超過50度或腰椎側彎角度超過30度,仍需持續追蹤有無惡化現象。
