Comparison of predicted future growth and progression of scoliosis to actual measured changes show that the Risser system is variably accurate. [5] Specifically, because the progression from stages 1 to 4 (apophyseal "excursion") is rapid and only takes an average of approximately 1 year, these stages are of limited value in pinpointing stage ...
