Objectives: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a complex three-dimensional spinal deformity associated with low bone mass. Our previous clinical trial demonstrated the anabolic bone effect of vibration treatment (VT) at the femoral neck in AIS subjects. The therapeutic effect was more pronounced in those with optimal serum 25(OH) Vit-D level (>40 nmol/l). To investigate possible factor interaction between Vit-D and VT on their anabolic bone effects, this in-vitro...
