Approximately 20 percent of all scoliosis cases have a known cause. This book explains the condition and includes
both the current best-practice treatments and the lived experience of families. It is a companion book to Idiopathic scoliosis, which addresses scoliosis where the cause is unknown.
The writing of this scoliosis book was led by Tenner J. Guillaume, MD, Walter H. Truong, MD, and Danielle Harding, PA-C, spine specialists at Gillette Children’s, a world-renowned center of excellence for the treatment of brain, bone, and movement conditions. This book is part of the Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series, a series of books for families who are looking for clear, comprehensive information. Health care professionals, researchers, educators, students, and extended family members will also benefit from reading it.

· Spastic Quadriplegia—Bilateral Cerebral Palsy
