Fig. 3From: Differences in vertebral morphology around the apical vertebrae between neuromuscular scoliosis and idiopathic scoliosis in skeletally immature patients: a three-dimensional morphometric analysisThe sagittal plane (S) was rotated about the vertical axis at 45° intervals. The two anterior intersection points (ant.) between the rotated sagittal planes and the lower endplate were used for assessing the anterior part of the vertebral body, the middle two intersection points (mid.) for assessing the middle part, and the posterior two intersection points (post.) for assessing the posterior partBack to article page
