title: [Idiopathic scoliosis in the sagittal plane].
abstract: Idiopathic scoliosis in sagittal plane is characterised by hypokyphosis and the restriction of anteflexion. This we have to take into consideration when we start an early treatment. The results are the best in children beyond 8 years of age with an angle of Cobb below 20 degrees and in thoracolumbar scoliosis. For the beginning idiopathic scoliosis the definition as an error of form is useless. The thesis that restriction of anteflexion has the priority in the development of idiopathic scoliosis will be supported by the examination of pupils.
