M J McMaster,M F Macnicol,

Twenty-seven children with progressive infantile idiopathic scoliosis have been reviewed after long-term management. Twenty-two children had single thoracic curves which were diagnosed at an early age and treated in a modified Milwaukee brace until the age of ten years when the spine was corrected and fused. The mean correction after operation was 40 per cent of the initial degree of curvature seen in early childhood before treatment. Solid spinal fusion led to a further moderate loss in correction due to bending of the fusion mass before the spine became stable several years later. Five children had double structural curves and were treated only in a brace. This provided less satisfactory control of these curves but because of the minimal cosmetic deformity, extensive spinal fusion was avoided.
