title: [Prognosis and therapy of the congenital scoliosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Patients, suffering from congenital scoliosis, offer multiple problems for the prognostic judgement and consequent therapy. The diagnosis has to include the patterns of malformation, the lack of balance and accompanying malformations of other organs. This requires an interdisciplinary cure. Physical therapy or redressing plaster-shells do not guarantee a sufficient treatment. In most cases the Milwaukee-brace will not stop the progredience, but just an early operative intervention. Indications and techniques of stabilizing or correcting operative procedure from dorsal or ventral are described.
