RADIATION SCOLIOSIS

An Experimental Study

ALVIN M. ARKIN M.D.1 and NORMAN SIMON M.D.1

1 Departments of Orthopaedic Surgery, and Radiation Therapy, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City

Structural scoliosis can be produced in the spines of rabbits by irradiating the vertebrae asymmetrically.

The resulting unequal bone growth yields wedging of the vertebral bodies with the lesser height toward the irradiated side.

A single dose of 1,000 r is required to induce definite wedging in the spines of young rabbits.
