In the years 1973--1975 20 patients with syringomyelia were treated surgically. The surgical interventions were preceded by careful radiological examinations which was often indispensable for confirmation of diagnosis, establishing of indications to operation and choice of surgical method. On plain radiograms in 16 cases cervicothoracic scoliosis was found, in 11 cases the vertebral canal was dilated in its cervical part, in 6 cases atlanto-occipital malformations were disclosed. The basic diagnostic examination was ascending myelography which was performed in 17 cases. In 3 cases the contrast medium failed to pass to the atlanto-occipital junction because of marked dilatation of the spinal cord in the cervical part. In 9 out of the remaining 14 cases radiological findings were compatible with the diagnosis of Arnold-Chiari syndrome which was confirmed during the operation. In 1 case positive contrast central pneumoencephalography was performed demonstrating a communication between the 4 th ventricle and the cavity in the spinal cord. Early detailed neuroradiological diagnosis is indispensable in syringomyelia for early surgical treatment.

CT examination of 9 patients with primary thoracic right sided scoliosis aged from 13 to 19 years (15 years and 4 months on an average) was carried out. The angle of curvature (Cobb method) ranged from 38 degrees to 99 degrees (68 degrees on an average). Rotation of the apical vertebra was measured and torsion evaluated. Rotation ranged from 5 degrees to 28 degrees (17 degrees on an average). No relation among rotation, angle of curvature and size of the hump was found. The directions of rotation and torsion were opposite. At the apex of curvature due to torsion the end of spinous process was deviated towards the hump but the vertebrae into opposite direction.

The efficiency of electrical stimulation in the treatment of idiopathic scoliosis was assessed on the basis of 95 patients reviewed. In 63% of cases an improvement or inhibition of progression of the curvature was achieved. The infantile and juvenile positive therapeutic effect was found in 70% patients, providing the onset of the therapy took place before the tenth year of life. Adolescent scoliosis were affected by this kind of therapy only to the very little extent.

The late results of surgical treatment of infantile scoliosis by the Harrington method have been presented in 43 patients. The patients age at surgical treatment ranged from 11 to 21 years (14.1 years in the average). The patients age at final follow up examination ranged from 18 to 34 years (25.4 years on the average). The curvature angle at operation was 102.1 degrees according to Cobb on the average. 43.7 per cent of curvature was corrected. Although an improvement of posture was present in all the patients, only 51 per cent of the patients, had good posture. After the treatment 81 per cent of the patients worked.

Fifty-five patients with primary thoracic dextral idiopathic scoliosis treated by the Harrington method were studied. Posterior spondylodesis involved 8-14 vertebrae. Immobilization by a plaster-of-Paris jacket after operation was employed for 7-11 months. The mean follow-up was 14 years and 8 months. The studies were based on the clinical, radiological, and photogramometric evaluation of patients before operation, at one year after operation, and at least 5 years after operation. Two groups of patients were considered: with spondylodesis involving 8-10 vertebrae (25 patients) and 11-13 vertebrae (29 patients). In the analyzed material, better compensated posture occurred in the patients with posterior spondylodesis of 8-10 vertebrae and in whom the lower distractor hook rested on the L1-L2 vertebral arches, and when biological maturity of the spine was medium or advanced, and the age at operation ranged from 14 to 18 years and 4 months.

The authors treated surgically 21 patients with scoliosis by intersegmental posterior spondylodesis with use of the Cotrel-Dubousset instrumetarium. The surgical method and results have been presented. The mean age of the patients was 14.6 years. The used method produced great correction (70 per cent) of scoliosis; its another equally important advantage is the possibility to restore physiological curvatures of the spine and removal of gibbus. The intra obtained operationally perfect internal frame stabilization of a corrected scoliotic segment of the spine enables standing positioning and mobilization of a patient several days after operation, securing the operated on child maximum of psychical comfort. The mean follow-up was 18 months.

General principles of construction of TSRH instrumentation and its use for treatment of idiopathic King type III scoliosis have been presented. Surgical technique has been described on the basis of procedure performed in the case of 13 years old girl with primary right sided thoracic adolescent scoliosis.

Hypothetical assumption, based on phylogenetic, anatomical and epidemiological studies as well as on clinical findings led the author to the conclusion, that regardless of an etiologic factor and the duration of its action the chief determinant for preserving the curve is the contracture of the short muscles and ligaments of the spine backed by scoliosis action of the long spinal muscles. Taking this into consideration the author has developed a method for small angle scolioses treatment by means of gravitational counteraction and removal of mainly ligamentous contracture of the spine. That can be accomplished by flexion-rotation exercises supplemented by "segmental gymnastics". The principles are validated by 30 years of clinical experience and advantageous results.

The most important entries concerning scoliosis have been presented in an alphabetical order. Some definitions, better describing three-planar scoliosis deformity, suggested by Scoliosis Research Society have been included.

The authors illustrated principles of surgical treatment for idiopathic scoliosis. Methods of vertebrae selection for hooks implantation depending on scoliosis type are discussed. Differences in surgical technique have been highlighted in respect to idiopathic lordosis-scoliosis and kyphoscoliosis.
