Core Tip	Development of the spine and thoracic cage is a complex series of events involving multiple metabolic processes, genes and signaling pathways. During growth, complex phenomena follow a rapid succession. This succession of events, this establishment of elements, is programmed according to a hierarchy. Complex spinal deformities alter normal growth plate development and vertebral bodies become progressively distorted, perpetuating the disorder. Therefore, many scoliotic deformities can become growth plate disorders over time.
