ABSTRACT:
Despite the evaluation of any spinal deformity must be always done on Morphology, Pain, Function, Self- Image, Psychology, Quality of life…The evaluation of the Cobb angle is considered as the basis of such evaluation pre and post any eventual treatment. Despite its simplicity to use It really measure very incompletely only in 2D, the morphology of the spinal deformities because essentially the horizontal plane
data is missing in most of the classification systems that are clearly 2D measurements,
and practically it measure only the collapsing of the spine.
