[Surgical elimination of instability in congenital spinal deformations in children].
Variants of congenital mechanical and dynamic instability of the spine in children are described. Experiences with the treatment of malformations of the spine resulting in mechanical (30 cases) and dynamic (139 cases) instability are analyzed. In most cases different titanium implants were used for dorsal fixation (150 operations). The specific feature of most interventions was their being performed in the period of active growth of the children (more that 60% were from 6 months to 5 years of age). It was found that the instrumental and osteoplasty stabilization failed to substantially influence the development of the spine.
