No need to do that, Michaela. The most important thing is that we find the right translation.

Thank you for more info You are dead right. I submitted a request to reopen the question in order to award you with points. Of course "type" is another classification of scoliosis not related to degrees.

Stuart Hoskins Oct 22, 2013:

first degree scoliosis It's everywhere, Michaela. e.g. "The magnitude of deformation of the spine scoliosis is divided into degrees. The most easy, first degree scoliosis corresponds to the angle of curvature of the spine to 10 degrees." http://scoliosistreatment-curvatureofthes.blogspot.cz/2012/0...

Degree vs type Thank you for your input. According to link http://morphopedics.wikidot.com/spinal-scoliosis
"type" might be more appropriate answer in this case. "Degree" regarding of spine relates to measurements (360°) see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7749905
