A spinal curvature with the convexity directed to the left side is defined as which type?

Rotoscoliosis

Levoscoliosis

In scoliosis, the name reflects the direction of the curve’s convexity. If the spine bends with the convex side on the left, the condition is levoscoliosis. The opposite, convexity to the right, is dextroscoliosis; rotoscoliosis emphasizes rotation of the vertebrae with the curve, and kyphoscoliosis describes a kyphotic (forward-leaning) component with scoliosis. So a left-convex curvature is levoscoliosis.

Dextroscoliosis

Kyphoscoliosis
