IS THE COTREL-DUBOUSSET REALY UNIVERSAL IN THE SURGICAL TREATMENT OF IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS?
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
reviewed the results of 21 cases of C-D instrumentation, and 48 cases of posterior approach by Harrington instrumentation and modifications of Harrington procedure. Posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation by C-D provides better correction and stabilization in thoracic and balanced double major curves. I no longer use the Harrington procedure and its modification any more.
