Published: November 2007

This review of infantile idiopathic scoliosis highlights the clinical features, etiology, epidemiology, and treatment considerations that clearly distinguish this entity from the more common diagnosis of juvenile and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. A comprehensive understanding of infantile idiopathic scoliosis provides the basis for reliable prediction of those curves that are likely to spontaneously resolve and those that will relentlessly progress if left untreated.

Study Design: A retrospective comparative study.

Purpose: To validate the hypothesis that a combination of multilevel Ponte osteotomy (PO) with intraoperative traction (IOT) results in a better correction than IOT alone in high-magnitude curves in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and does not possess an attributable risk of neurological injury.

Overview Of Literature: On a comprehensive review of the literature, the choice of technique adopted for curves between 65° and 100° remains controversial with no major consensus favoring one technique over the other.
