Ponseti and Friedman tested whether curve pattern and age at onset predict the final severity of untreated idiopathic scoliosis. Retrospective natural-history review of 394 non-surgically treated patients grouped into five curve patterns, with curve magnitude at skeletal maturity as the main outcome.
