| Summary: | The article describes an approach for early diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic scoliosis adopted at the Novosibirsk Re-
search Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (NRITO). Idiopathic scoliosis is a genetically determined disease.
Screening examinations of children and adolescents are required for early diagnosis of the disease. The most effective con-
servative treatment is brace therapy. Surgical treatment is strictly differentiated depending on the patient age. Multi-stage
treatment by means of VEPTR instrumentation has been used in patients of the first decade of life. One-stage surgery us-
ing transpedicular fixation throughout the curve has been performed in patients aged 11–13 years. One- or two-stage sur-
gery, depending on the curve mobility, has been used in patients aged 14–20 years. Deformities of more than 90° require a
multistage intervention with anterior and posterior spinal mobilization. |
