[The first experience using C-D equipment in the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis (preliminary report)].
The authors treated surgically 21 patients with scoliosis by intersegmental posterior spondylodesis with use of the Cotrel-Dubousset instrumetarium. The surgical method and results have been presented. The mean age of the patients was 14.6 years. The used method produced great correction (70 per cent) of scoliosis; its another equally important advantage is the possibility to restore physiological curvatures of the spine and removal of gibbus. The intra obtained operationally perfect internal frame stabilization of a corrected scoliotic segment of the spine enables standing positioning and mobilization of a patient several days after operation, securing the operated on child maximum of psychical comfort. The mean follow-up was 18 months.
