Scoliosis is often thought of as a condition that only impacts girls, but both boys and girls can develop spinal curves, especially during childhood and adolescence.👦👧
While early scoliosis rates are similar between genders, girls make up about 80% of diagnosed cases during adolescence due to differences in spinal structure and growth patterns.📊
Routine screening is recommended at age 10 for girls and age 11 for boys, with earlier checks for children who have a family history of scoliosis.
Early detection is essential, as it allows for timely intervention and better long‑term outcomes. 🩺
