AB  - Scoliosis  is  defined  as  the  lateral  and  rotational  deformity  of  the  thoracolumbar  spine.  The  progressive  deformity  causes  the  vertebral  bodies  to  rotate  toward  the  convex  side  pushing  the  ribs  posteriorly  and  narrowing  the  thoracic  cage.  Consequently,  the  spinous  process  will  deviate  to  the  concave  side  and  force  the  ribs  laterally.  This  distortion  in  the  thorax  results  in  restriction  of  lung  volumes  and  function.
