DRUMMOND INSTRUMENTATION IN THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Harrington instrumentation has been extensively employed world-wide in the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis for 25 years. This procedure seems to be disadvantageous in that it has no corrective effect on thoracic lordosis, and is considered to be difficult as it necessitates postoperative cast immobilization to be employed. With the advent of such instrumentation as Drummond, HarriLuque and CD not only has it been possible to correct lordosis but the need for employing postoperative cast immobilization has been eliminated. We have attempted to in this application method of ours present Drummond instrumentation and the results we have obtained in those cases in which we applied this method.
