Utilization of distal radius and ulna classification scheme in predicting growth peak and curve progression in idiopathic scoliosis girls undergoing bracing treatment

ConclusionsBoth distal radius and ulna scores correlate with the longitudinal growth potential, and thus, the DRU scoring scheme is an alternative predictor for growth potential and curve progression in girls with IS.Graphic abstractThese slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
