AbstractThere is little consensus among spinal deformity surgeons as to the best way to treat infantile or early-onset scoliosis. Bracing may or may not be effective, and subcutaneous rods have a high complication rate. Current techniques of casting as championed by Min Mehta and Jean Dubousset are presented as is the use of halo-gravity traction for the more severe cases. We firmly believe that "outdated" techniques, such as casting and traction, still play an important role in the treatment of this challenging problem.
