Abstract
A 13-year-old girl with rigid congenital thoracic lordosis and congenital scoliosis was treated by a three-stage procedure of anterior transthoracic closing wedge osteotomies, posterior osteotomies of the laminar synostosis, correction of the deformity by sublaminar wires pulled back to a kyphotic bent Luque rod, and a later "pulling-out" procedure on the lateral chest wall.
