IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

A Method of Correction

GORONWY E. THOMAS M.CH. (0RTH.), F.R.C.S. (EDIN.)1

1 LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND

The results from this method of correction of idiopathic scoliosis show very encouraging improvement over those obtained by other methods.

From the study of these patients, the writer has not been able to draw any conclusions as to why some cases of curvature are more amenable to correction than others of the same apparent severity, at the same age.

Rotation was a prominent feature in all, but the amount of lateral correction obtained did not appear to bear any constant relationship to it. This rotation was corrected in only two cases (Figs. 5-B and 8-B); in all the others, it persisted or even increased.
