The increased susceptibility to compound curveswith increasing vears is shown bv Scholders statistics of school children: years old per cent. 1314 . . ■3-3■3-3 Women are more frequently affected than men, the proportion being 7 to i. The appearances shown in theilkistration (Fig. 49) will serve todemonstrate how the appearances. Fig. 50.—Dorsal Rotation Shown evProminenck of Right Side in Bend-ing Forward. (See Fig. 49.)

(See Fig. 49.) of two types of simple scoliosis are brought together in the same a right dorsal left lumbar curve, the appearances of the thorax arethose described for a simple dorsal curve, but the overhang of thethorax is modified by the displacement of the lower trunk in theopposite direction incident to the left lumbar curve. The resultantposition may be, as in the simple curves, either accompanied by anincrease or diminution of the physiological curves. That scoliosis may change in type from one clinical picture to anotherin the same patient in the course of years is well established. Notonly does the total curve frequently change to a compound type asmentioned, but the structural curves change most frequently by the COMPOUND STRUCTURAL CURNE
