Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of scoliosis. Research suggests that scoliosis often runs in families, indicating a genetic predisposition to the condition. Scoliosis can also result from congenital abnormalities or malformations of the spine that occur during fetal development. Congenital scoliosis is present at birth and may be caused by vertebral anomalies, spinal cord abnormalities, or irregularities in spinal segmentation. Traumatic injuries to the spine, such as fractures or dislocations, can result in spinal curvature and deformity, particularly if left untreated or improperly managed.
