Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity. Correction of deformiîies in frontal, saggital and axiai planes is the main point of the surgicai treatment of idiopathic scoliotic curves, To determine the effectiviness of the surgical treatment in the axial plane severai methods of radiographic or ciinical examinations have been described. Two of these methods were "torsion meter" designed by Perdriolle and Vidal (5) and “CT".

The aim ofthis study was to determine the effectiviness of Perdriolle ruler (PR) and CT for measuring vertebral rotation in both thoracal and lumbar segments.
