Literature review.
Europe with special reference to France.
To review the treatment of spinal deformity in nineteenth century Europe and explain the high incidence of paralysis as a result of forceful traction of the spinal column to treat scoliosis in France as compared with other European countries.
Although well described in the nineteenth century French medical literature, the dangers of forceful traction on the spinal column to correct spinal deformity were not recognized in Europe or the USA until the halofemoral traction method of treatment was used in the 1970s.
文献综述。
以法国为特别参照的欧洲。
回顾19世纪欧洲脊柱畸形的治疗情况，并解释与其他欧洲国家相比，法国因强力牵引脊柱治疗脊柱侧弯导致瘫痪的高发病率。
尽管在19世纪法国医学文献中有详尽描述，但直到20世纪70年代采用股骨髁上牵引治疗方法，欧洲和美国才认识到强力牵引脊柱矫正脊柱畸形的危险性。
