Aims and scope
Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders is an open access, multidisciplinary journal that encompasses all
aspects of research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and cost-analyses of
conservative and surgical management of all spinal deformities and disorders. Both clinical and
basic science reports form the cornerstone of the journal in its endeavour to provide original,
primary studies as well as narrative/systematic reviews and meta-analyses to the academic
community and beyond. Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders aims to provide an integrated and
balanced view of cutting-edge spine research to further enhance effective collaboration among
clinical spine specialists and scientists, and to ultimately improve patient outcomes based on an
evidence-based spine care approach.
