title: [Development of idiopathic scoliosis in electrostimulation treatment with an implantable system].
abstract: The results of electro-stimulation treatment in 46 patients with idiopathic scoliosis are compared with the results of daily short-term stimulation respectively Milwaukee-brace treatment. The over all results in cases treated with electro-stimulation were not worse than brace results. Therefore electro-stimulation treatment can be regarded as an alternative method to brace treatment with much better acceptance.
