title: [Radiologic findings in idiopathic scoliosis. Etiopathogenetic interpretation].
abstract: Following radiological investigations of the spine and pelvis, carried out in the standing position on 5000 young and adult subjects, the author reports a series of radiological features from which it appears clear that the inequality in length of lower extremities is the primary cause of that complex mechanism which is responsible of apparently idiopathic scoliosis.
