Abstract
1. Some of the factors responsible for vertebral growth have been discussed. 2. In kyphosis and scoliosis it is important to prevent progressive epiphysial damage. 3. In selected cases of progressive scoliosis, epiphysiodesis on the convex side will correct unequal growth. 4. The technique of spinal epiphysiodesis is described and the results that may be expected are discussed.Keywords
