Bone mineral density estimated by osteorisk in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is believed to be higher than in the general adolescent population. An alternative to radiology for the characterization of bone mineral density may be through correlative indexes like the Osteorisk inde...

description OBJECTIVE: The prevalence of osteoporosis in patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is believed to be higher than in the general adolescent population. An alternative to radiology for the characterization of bone mineral density may be through correlative indexes like the Osteorisk index, which is easy to access and low in cost, and which helps the doctor in the request for Bone Densitometry. Our belief that osteoporosis can affect the evolution and treatment of AIS was what motivated us to conduct this study. Our objective was to subjectively evaluate bone mineral density by the Osteorisk index in patients with AIS. METHODS: Healthy patients (control group, n=30) and patients with AIS (n = 30) were evaluated, documenting age, weight and height, and establishing the Osteorisk. The unpaired Student t test was performed, with a level of significance of p <0.05. RESULTS: The mean Osteorisk found for the patients with AIS was 6.38 ± 2.2 while in the control group, it was 8.27 ± 2.14, which represents a low risk of developing osteoporosis in both groups. Comparing these means between the groups, a lower Osteorisk was observed in the AIS group. CONCLUSION: Our study showed that there is low risk of developing osteoporosis in patients with AIS. Level of Evidence I, Prospective study.
