![]() Another method employed for its simplicity and reliability is the Raimondi method that uses templates (Raimondi’s tables) to determine the degree of AVR on X-ray films ( 14, 16, 17). The Perdriolle method is widely used and recommended by the Scoliosis Research Society ( 14, 15). ![]() There are several methods for assessing AVR using conventional X-rays (by identifying the position of some vertebral anatomical structures and their relationships). Its measurement is necessary to assess the severity of scoliosis and to quantify the risk of progression ( 5- 9), for the selection of treatment ( 3, 6, 10), and the analysis of orthopaedic and surgical procedures ( 3, 5, 8, 11- 13). Axial vertebral rotation (AVR) is an essential parameter in the AIS study ( 4, 5). The Cobb angle measurement on the standing posteroanterior full-length spine X-ray is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring changes in the AIS ( 3). AIS can progress over the years, especially during growth, and can cause musculoskeletal, lung, psychological problems and significant pain in adulthood ( 2). ![]() Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is accepted as a 3-dimensional deformity involving axial, sagittal and frontal planes ( 1).
