Pathologic Mechanism of Experimental Scoliosis in Pinealectomized Chickens

This study was designed to investigate the pathologic mechanisms of idiopathic scoliosis using experimentally induced scoliosis in chickens.To understand the process of producing a scoliotic deformity in pinealectomized chickens.Pinealectomy in chickens consistently produces scoliosis with anatomic characteristics similar to those of human idiopathic scoliosis. Pinealectomized chickens are an important animal model for the study of idiopathic...
