Abstract
Background: The principal of scoliosis on pulmonary functions is
believed to be mechanical. The anatomical changes due to scoliosis in the
chest wall causing impaired movement and reduced compliance that is
demonstrable in pulmonary function testing (PFT). Objective: To find the
correlation between rib hump and ventilatory function in adult patients with
idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: Forty females of age ranged between18–30
with right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis enrolled in this study; they were
recruited from orthopedic outpatient clinics of kasr Al-Aini Hospitals,
Cairo University. Adam‘s test was performed to examine rip hump side and
its degree was measured by scoliometer. The spirometry measuring was
done to measure the ventilatory function. Results: There was a significant
direct and strong negative correlation between rotation and FVC and FEV1
(p=0.000 and p=0.000, respectively), while there is a non-significant
negative correlation between rotation and FEV1/FVC ratio (p=0.669)
Conclusion: the degree of rotation of the rib hump in patients with thoracic
scoliosis correlate negatively with FVC, and FEV1, and no correlation
between the rotation of the rib hump and the ratio between FEV1⁄ FVC
