Question
My son is almost five years old, why does his belly stick out in front, and his back is a bit hunched?
Answer
This condition may not necessarily be a result of scoliosis post-trauma. Common post-traumatic symptoms of scoliosis include flat head, ribcage pearls, outwardly curved ribs, funnel chest, O-shaped legs, and X-shaped legs, among others. It is recommended to consult a pediatric surgery department at the hospital for an examination to determine the diagnosis and decide whether treatment is needed.
