*Categorization into '''dextroscoliosis''' (convex towards the patient's right) or '''levoscoliosis''' (towards left). Typically, there is a main curvature, with secondary counter-curvatures above and below it, which should be measured as well in more severe scoliosis, or if it is not clear what is the main curvature.
*'''Cobb angle measurement''' of the anticipated greatest angle seen. angle formed between a line drawn parallel to the superior endplate of one vertebra above the fracture and a line drawn parallel to the inferior endplate of the vertebra one level below the fracture.
*Severity '''grading''' of the Cobb angle, which is not mandatory if already having given the angle in numbers.
