THE USE OF PARALLEL GRAFTS AND OF TWO-STAGE AND THREE-STAGE INTERLOCKING GRAFTS IN THE TREATMENT OF IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

End Results in Forty-One Cases

TOM OUTLAND M.D.1 and OSCAR CORN M.D.1

1 State Hospital for Crippled Children, Elizabethtown

Significant improvement in the amount of correction retained and a substantial decrease in the incidence of pseudarthrosis have been achieved in forty-one cases of idiopathic scoliosis. These patients were treated by a modified technique of using tibial grafts in spine fusion, after obtaining maximum correction (by the Risser type of plaster jacket in thirty-nine cases and by the hammock suspension method in two cases).
