title: [Harrington's surgical treatment of scoliosis].
abstract: In spite of intensive conservative treatment of scoliosis operation is almost necessary. Indication for operation is given by progression of scoliosis by angles over 50 degrees. In our hospital the method according to Harrington combined with the Cotrel transverse compression device is carried out. We report on our experiences over 13 years. Complications were exactly put to record.
