This category accounts for approximately 10% of all scoliosis cases.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of congenital malformations that can result in scoliosis. For example a person can be born with one leg substantially shorter than the other or can have a malformed or misshapen vertebrae. These vertebrae, sometimes called &#8220;hemi vertebra&#8221; or \u201cwedge\u201d vertebra, will cause the spine to curve above and below the deformity and cause scoliosis.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2538&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]This CT reconstruction clearly shows a Wedge Vertebra with the scoliosis it creates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Congenital scoliosis is the result of something that is present from birth.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Abnormalities in the way the spine is formed can create this type of scoliosis<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A significant leg length inequality can also create scoliosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are circumstances where a congenital deformity is significant enough to warrant surgical intervention.\u00a0 There are many cases, however, where the scoliosis resulting from such congenital deformities can be managed and kept from getting worse.
