Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
From decembcr 1988 to december 1989 21 Cotrel-Duboussct instrumentations were performed at the first ortho-- paedics and traumatology clinics of Ankara Social security hospital in order to correct idiopalhic scoliosis. The follow-up period was between 6-16 months. Nine of the patients were female (42, 9%) and 12 of them were male (57, 1). One patient had infantile idiopathic scoliosis (4, 8%) and two patients had juvenil idiopalhic scoliosis. The other aighteen patients had adolescant idiopathic scoliosis. All of our patients were between 10 and 19 years old at the time of operation. 17 of the patients did not have any treatment beforea admission to our haspital but 4 of them had been braced. The results of this study make us to propose the Cotrel-Duboussct instrumentation, which supplies three dimen sional correction, can be succesfully performed for the treatment of idiopalhic scoliosis.
