A recen peer-reviewed publication in a medical journal, a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 37 adolescents and young adults with scoliosis to evaluate cervical spine biomechanics, finding that 100% of participants exhibited cervical instability and loss of normal lordosis, most often manifesting as increased translational motion (instability) particularly at the C3-C4 and C5-C6 segments, and pervasive cervical buckling patterns even when measured angular deviations were infrequent; these findings demonstrate a consistent association between abnormal cervical mechanics and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, expanding the understanding of spinal biomechanics beyond the scoliotic curvature itself and suggesting that the cervical spine may play a substantive role in the complex biomechanical profile of scoliosis, warranting further longitudinal and etiological investigation.

One-sentence factual summary:
This retrospective cross-sectional study analyzed radiographic data from 37 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients to characterize abnormal cervical mechanics, finding a high prevalence of cervical instability, loss of normal lordosis, and buckling patterns that correlate with scoliosis biomechanics.
