Idiopathic scoliosis is the largest group of all forms of scoliosis in the growth phase accounting for 80-90%. A distinction is made between idiopathic infantile (0-3 years), juvenile (4-10 years) and adolescent scoliosis (>10 years), depending on the age when scoliosis appears. The treatment depends on the skeletal age, the Cobb angle and the progression behavior of scoliosis. Mild cases are treated conservatively using physiotherapy, exercises and bracing but in advanced stages scoliosis should be surgically treated. With existing growth potential various techniques, such as traditional growing rods, magnetically controlled growth rods and vertebral body tethering are available. After the end of the growth phase a fusion should be recommended for scoliosis >50 degrees.
