DORSAL CURVES A single dorsal curve is more frequent than the single lumbar type,but is much less frequent than dorsal curves in combination with other 64 DESCRIPTION AND SYMPTOMS forms; that is to say, dorsal curves are more often than not accom-panied by reverse or compensating curves above or below. In theSchulthess figures there were 19 per cent, of single dorsal curves and30 per cent, where dorsal curves existed with others. The curvesare as frequently to the right as to the left when they exist point of greatest curve
