No artigo «Boletim de Saúde Infantil e Juvenil - o exame global de saúde dos 11 aos 13 anos (parte II)»,1 é referida a importância da realização do rastreio de escoliose no exame global de saúde dos 11 aos 13 anos, através da realização, entre outros, da manobra de Adams. Gostaria, a este propósito, de fazer notar uma recomendação da United States Preventive Services Task Force,2 em que é referido que o rastreio da escoliose idiopática no adolescente não deve ser realizado (grau D) pois existe evidência de que os malefícios ultrapassam os potenciais benefícios.Downloads
