Yes, scoliosis can contribute to the development of wedge fractures, particularly in individuals with severe or progressive forms of the condition. The abnormal curvature of the spine can lead to uneven distribution of mechanical stress on the vertebrae, increasing the risk of fractures. Additionally, muscle imbalances and postural changes associated with scoliosis may exacerbate this risk. However, wedge fractures are more commonly associated with osteoporosis or trauma.
