Abstract
The evolution of an idiopathic scoliosis is determined by the site of the primary curve and by the age of onset. It is significant that thoracic primary curves are commonly severe and the early onset of this curve accentuates this feature. Early operation based on prognosis is practised but sufficient time has not yet elapsed to justify any conclusions.Keywords
