ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to better understand the types and frequency of spinal deformities, like scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and kyphosis (excessive rounding of the back), in patients who have had spine X-rays taken. The study will review past medical records to see what kinds of spinal issues were found in these patients and to gather information about their clinical features. This research aims to improve how we diagnose and treat these conditions.

To be eligible for the study, participants need to be 18 years old or younger and have had X-rays taken because of concerns about scoliosis or kyphosis. However, individuals who have had previous spinal surgery or trauma, or who have had multiple X-rays taken for the same issue, will not be included. Since this trial is in the planning stages and hasn't started recruiting participants yet, those interested will need to wait for further announcements about when they can join.
