Abstract

A retrospective analysis of the natural history and treatment outcome of scoliosis, both idiopathic and syndromic, presenting before age 10 years was undertaken. The pattern was generally one of relentless progression, with little discernible benefit from orthotic treatment and surgical correction as the outcome for the majority. This result makes imperative a properly constructed study on the evolution and long-term outcome of this less common but more significant type of spinal deformity.
