dc.description.abstractObjective: The frequent use of intense X-rays in the diagnosis and follow-up of adolescent scoliosis patients results in radiation exposure. This study aims to explore the viability of a patient-friendly digital anthropometry method as an auxiliary tool. It also evaluates the correlation between this digital method and the Cobb method in assessing lumbar scoliosis values. Material and Method: 100 scoliosis patients were examined using the digital anthropometric method with 17 anatomical parameters defined. Lumbar scoliosis degrees were also measured using the Cobb method based on radiological images. Result: The patients had a female to male ratio of 3:1, and 49% were diagnosed with lumbar scoliosis. The patient with the highest lumbar scoliosis displayed a 13.8 degree cervical lordosis angle, a 50.1 degree thoracic kyphosis angle, and a 26.4 degree lumbar lordosis angle. This lumbar lordosis angle was above the mean value. Conversely, the patient with the lowest lumbar scoliosis had a 12.9 degree cervical lordosis angle, a 53.81 degree thoracic kyphosis angle, and a 21.8 degree lumbar lordosis angle, with the latter being below the mean value. A significant positive correlation was observed between the lumbar lordosis angle obtained from the photoanthropometric analysis and the lumbar scoliosis degree measured using the Cobb method (r=0.902, p<0.001). Conclusion: Patient follow-up can be enhanced through the photo-anthropometric method, and due to its patientfriendly nature, it can be more integrally included in treatment programs. © 2024, Nobelmedicus.
