title: [The operative treatment of scoliosis and kyphosis (author's transl)].
abstract: The first part of this paper consists of a discussion of the prognosis of the main forms of scoliosis and the operative treatment of this condition. The various modes of pre-operative curvature correction are detailed, as well as the main operative techniques from the dorsal (mainly the Harrington procedure) and ventral spinal approach (dwyer procedure, wedge resection).
