Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, Dublin, Ireland.
A series of forty-one patients with adolescent or juvenile idiopathic scoliosis who were treated with electro-spinal stimulation is reported. Nineteen children were removed from the program because of curve progression or unacceptable deformity. Sixteen of these (39%) required surgery as a first alternative. Three were given a brace. Thirteen children have reached skeletal maturity without significant deterioration. Those who did well were in a lower risk category. The efficacy of this form of treatment has not been demonstrated in this series, and it is being discontinued.
