 Background:School screening for scoliosis in Fujisawa City was inaugurated 30 years ago. At this point we are assessing the benefits of the school screening and the possibility of cases being missed by Moire topography, which has been widely used in 5th or 6th grade in elementary school and in the 1st year or 2nd year of middle school.

 Method:398 scoliosis cases with a Cobb angle of 15° or more in the past 16 year, we examined patients dividing them into two groups;new case:patients who were diagnosed with scoliosis within the last one year, follow-up case:patients who had been suspected of scoliosis in school screening of last year, and were diagnosed this year.

 Results:① There was no tendency for the proportion of students with scoliosis defined as a Cobb angle≧15° to decrease yearly. ② We detected scoliosis cases in every grade from 1st grade to 9th grade. The number of cases detected in the 6th grade to the 9th grade has been almost the same (85-88), throughout the 16-year period, and there have been no significant differences in the number of newly detected cases from the 5th grade to the 9th grade. This finding shows that cases may have been missed among students who were not examined by Moire topography.

 Conclusion:School screening of all students for scoliosis is of great significance as a means of early detection and treatment of scoliosis defined as a Cobb angle of 15° or more.
