Asymmetric Osteopenia in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Based on Hounsfield Unit of Computed Tomography.

Patients with AIS exhibit osteopenia, particularly on the convex side. The severity of scoliosis was found to be directly proportional to the severity of bone loss and the degree of bilateral osteopenia asymmetry. Appropriate intervention for bone loss may be able to curb the progression of scoliosis.
