Abstract
The diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis in the infantile and juvenile age groups is a challenging and demanding endeavor. The diagnosis must be firmly established. Once a deformity has proven to be progressive, surgical intervention will likely be necessary because orthotic treatment is less effective in these cases. The surgeon is then faced with the dilemma of deciding on the most appropriate surgical treatment.
