title: [Surgical treatment of scoliosis by the Armstrong method].
abstract: The authors share their know-how of surgical treatment of severe forms of scoliosis by the method of Cartel Armstrong. Evaluation of the results within 2 years (the period of the greatest loss of correction) demonstrated greater efficiency of this method as compared with operation after Harrington with application of one fixing device or distractor with lateral traction.
