What I know so far:
Lateral bending shows the nature of the scoliosis whether it's structural and non-structural. It also shows the rigidity of the spine and determines how successful reduction of the spine will be.
Fulcrum view places a bolster (cylinder) at the apex of the curve. Besides this, I cannot find enough information on the benefits of this view and what information it provides for orthos or radiologists.
I have a few questions:
Why bend both ways for the lateral bending? What exactly does the fulcrum bending view show? How does these images change/aid in orthos planning for corrective surgery Thanks!
