Abstract
Four major modifications in the operative management of scoliosis, using Harrington instrumentation, are described with the results each modification brought about. The final regimen, used in 109 patients, included a dowel articular-process fusion and a lateral gutter fusion, as well as the Harrington apparatus and cast. A 65 per cent curve correction was obtained with the regimen.Keywords
