13 mar 2024 · The Cobb angle is the most widely used measurement to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities, especially scoliosis, on plain radiographs. Scoliosis is a lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle of >10° 4. The Cobb angle technique can also assess the degree of kyphosis or lordosis in the sagittal plane 7.
To measure the Cobb angle, one must first decide which vertebrae are the end-vertebrae of the curve deformity – the vertebra whose endplates are most tilted towards each other. Lines are then drawn along the endplates, and the angle between the two lines, where they intersect, measured.
The method of Cobb is the most commonly used technique to evaluate angulation in scoliosis. To measure the curve: determine the superior and inferior end vertebrae, which are those most tilted toward the concavity. draw a line tangential to the superior end plate or pedicles of the superior end vertebra.
5 giorni fa · The Cobb angle technique is the most commonly used to assess for kyphosis 5,6. It is measured on a unsupported erect lateral projection as the angle between two thoracic vertebrae, although the levels used vary in the literature: superior endplate of T2 9 or T4 5 or T5 9 (depending on visualization) inferior endplate of T12 5,9. The ...
This case demonstrates S-shaped thoracolumbar s coliosis. The measured Cobb's ang le at the thoracic curvature is 25°. Scoliosis is defined as lateral spinal curvature with a Cobb angle of 10° or more. Surgical management is usually necessary if Cobb's ang le is more than 50°.

The Cobb angle (arrow in radiograph) is formed by the intersection of a line parallel to the superior end plate of the most cephalad vertebra in a particular curve, with the line parallel to the inferior end plate of the most caudad vertebra of the curve.
The Cobb’s angle measures 35.9 0 with apex vertebrae at T7-T8. Case Discussion. Scoliosis is the abnormal lateral curvature of the spine (>10 0 Cobb angle) where idiopathic scoliosis is by far the most common (~80%) cause. Management of the Scoliosis:
